New York, Oct. 3. While a wo man and her two little children stood helpless from fright in the parlor of their home in Bradhurst Avenue early today, two men, one the woman's brother, and the other her lover, fought each other for their lives in the little apartment. The brother, who was armed with a large carving knife, finally ment down with three bullet wounds in his body.. He is i i a hospital and probably will die. The lover is a fugitive, and the police arc searching for him on a charge of at tempted murder. The principals in the affair Mrs. Jennie Smith, a widow, brother, Herbert Partridge, are her with whom she had made her home Charles Johns, a stenographer and who has been employed by the Adams Ex press Company. According to thei story told to the police by Mrs. Smith, who has been detained as a witness, the affray was the outgrowth of the' refusal of Johns' to cease paying at tention to Mrs. Smith after Partridge had warned him to do so. Mrs. Smith's Story. Mrs. Smith says that her acquaint ance with Johns extends over a con- j siderable period.

Then the struggle for lite began in earnest. As the men surg ed back and forth across the little room, overturning and breaking fur niture in the mad struggle for pos session of the knife. Mrs. Smith with her two children clinging to her and scream ing at the trip of their voices, stood in the corner of the room, u helpless, terrified spectator. Her Brother is Warned. l'in tne struggle tne niaae oi me Jreife was snapped in two and a tem porary respite was taken. Johns took advantage of the rest to say to Partridge: "This thing has gone fur enough. If you don't let up you will be sorry for it." This seemed to incense Partridge the more, for Mrs. Smith says he rushed at Johns, lunging at him with the broken blade of the knife. In another instant, Mrs. Smith says, Johns had whipped a revolver from his pocket, and taking careful aim, sent one bullet after another into his opponent and then rushed from the apartment and disappeared. The noise of the struggle and shooting and the cries of the two chil dren and woman had awakened the other tenants in the house and they came pouring into the apartment, to find Mrs. Smith wildly hysterical ly ing over her brot?"er's bleeding form. When Partridge was taken to a hos pital his condition was found to be so critical that the surgeon said he had but a slight chance for recovery. Mrs. Smith was locked up in the po lice station as a witness and the po lice began a search for the missing Johns. Johns' home is in New Ro chelle. When Mrs. Smith was questioned in police court she told the magis trate that Partridge is not her broth er, although sMe had introduced him as such in the house where they lived. "He is a friend of the family who used to live with us when my husband was Willi me," she told the court. THE MAN WAS BURNER PAST RECOGNITION. iuy tne Associated fress.) Geneva, O., Oct. li.

(Special to the Evening Times) Tarboro, N. C, Oct. East night about 10 o'clock a negro fiend en tered the home of a merchant here and made a desperate attempt to as sault Miss Kidd, a visiting young lady. She was alone in her room I preparing to retire and was stand ing in front of the mirror combing Iter hair when she saw the brute's face in the glass. She wheeled around and was confronted by him. He said to her: ".Hive me that ring." Miss Kidd handed it to him and then endeavored to escape, but the brute seized her and began choking her. She screamed and fought desperately to free herself from his grasp. A little childhat was sleeping in t he room began crying and this frightened the negro, who released his hold and the young lady fled to another room where she procured a pistol. She returned and tired at the ne gro as he Jumpad out of the window. In the struggle the lady was bruised about, the face and chest, there be ing blood stains on her clothing. Her screams and the pistol shot attracted an immense crowd of indignant citi zens.
