IT MISSED FIRE
Almost a Murder in an Atlantic Avenue Saloon.
A Card Party Ends in a Fight, When the Police Enter and Arrest All the
Participants--The Prisoners in Court This Morning.
A saloon card party, a charge of cheating, hot words, fisticuff and an
attempted shooting all in a few minutes, made a scene in the liquor store of
KERR Bros, at 592 Atlantic avenue, last night, like those enacted in the
gambling houses of newly settled towns in lawless territories.
The principals in the dramatic episode were Daniel S. SUMMERFIELD, of 95
Sterling place; Frederick FRAZER, of 401 Dean street, and Thomas MARSHALL,
whose abode is over the saloon. The three men had been playing euchre for
drinks with the result of SUMMERFIELD being a continual winner. About
midnight MARSHALL, it is said, accused SUMMERFIELD of winning by a
fraudulent manipulation known as "working from the top and bottom."
Angry words came quickly, the lie was given, and then came a fist fight, in
which MARSHALL was pummeled and kicked until bystanders interfered.
SUMMERFIELD, who had been knocked down, sprang to his feet, and drawing a
32-calibre "bull-dog" revolver from his hip pocket leveled it at MARSHALL
and pulled the trigger. Bloodshed was avoided by the weapon hanging fire,
and it was knocked from his hand before he could make another attempt to
discharge it. MARSHALL was knocked among a lot of boxes that stood near.
Officers CAMPBELL and CLARK, of the Tenth precinct, who were passing and
heard the noise of the scuffle went into the place and took the three men
into custody and locked them up on a charge of intoxication.
This morning they were arraigned before Justice PETTERSON. FRAZER and
MARSHALL were discharged, but SUMMERFIELD had an additional charge of
carrying concealed weapons made against him by the officer. Friends brought
testimony of his good character and previous good behavior to the Court, and
in consideration of this he was let off with a fine of $5 on each charge.

HE WAS INJURED
While Protecting His Boarding Mistress from Injury.
George LEE, of 384 Nineteenth street appeared in the Butler street police
court this morning, complaining that Hjolmer WINERWAIST, without any
provocation, struck him on the eye with some sharp instrument. He said that
two men and a woman came to his room where he boarded, and that the men had
a bottle of whiskey with them. WINERWAIST asked him to drink, and he refused
and ordered them out. Then the woman with  whom he was boarding threw up the
window and called for the police. She then went out on the sidewalk and the
two men with the woman follwed, and he, fearing they would injure her,
followed, when WINERWAIST assaulted hm. Justice TIGHE remanded the prisoner
to jail to await examination.

10 September 1889

horse to Hass' place of business, and the latter caused his arrest
alledging that he was instrumental in making the horse
run away. At the Jefferson Market Police Court this morning
Justice GORMAN said that Olsen's arrest was an outrage and dismissed
the complaint, and held Hass in $500.000 bail to appear for
trial on a charge of culpable negligence.

DeKalb avenue and Raymond street and removed to the City Hospital on
Saturday last, remains yet unconscious, and nothing concerning her identity
has been obtained. Her clothing is marked "Mary Josephine COUGHLIN,
Bloomingdale," and from this it is inferred that she is possibly an escaped
lunatic from the asylum at that place. An investigation will be made.

The Officers Made it a Trio

lot of men engaged in a fight on Graham avenue, near Brosdway, this morning.

cross the car track at Kingston and Atlantic avenues, she was struck by a

injuries.  She claims that no efforts were made by the railroad employees to

circumstances with a peculiar character connected with it.

He Did Not Die
But Alleges that His Heirs Objected to Being Disappointed in Their
Expectations.
Some time in March, 1885, Conrad STUBING, who lived at No. 23 Cook street,
this city, was taken sick, and, believing himself nigh unto death, desired
to dispose of his property. For this purpose he called in a certain
Commissioner of Deeds and told him to draw up papers by which John STUBING,
his son, should become the owner of the house and lot on Cook street on the
death of the father, providing that he permitted his mother to make her home
there during her life. John was also to divide $1,000 between his two
sisters, to obtain which sum a mortgage was to be given upon the property.
The drawing up of the papers was bunglingly executed, but a deed was
executed conveying the house and lot to the son John, it being agreed that
this should remain in the possession of the father until his death. But that
event did not transpire, as had been anticipated , and Conrad STUBING is
to-day well and hearty. He was in the City Court yesterday as a complainant
against his son, who, he alleged, had unwarrantably obtained possession of
the deed above mentioned, and had also taken possession of the property. Mr.
STUBING also complained that his family had drawn from bank $700 which he
