The three men had a dispute over some small sum of money which Kugath and Korzuck clairued was due them by Mr. Lehman. He peremptorily refused to pay them and ordered them out of the office, and emphasized his order to get out by giving Kugath a push towards the door. Further words and scuftling ensued during which Korzuck struck Mr. Lehman over the back of the head with a glass bottle which stood near by, breaking his stiff bat but not injuring hina. Kugath 's weapon was a stoiie ink bottle which stood on a bookcase and with it he struck Mr. Lehman over the top of tbe head inflicting a wound wbich it took four stitches to slose up. Mr. Lehman had Kugath by the throat at the time, otherwise he believes he would have been more seriously hurt if not killed.
