UNKNOWN ASSAILANT STABS MAN IN BREAST AND LEAVES HIM DYING ON SIDEWALK HERE
________________


Unsolved mystery surrounds an attack upon John Reubaldizie, 23, who lies at Saint John’s hospital with a gaping knife wound in his breast as a result of an encounter with an unidentified assailant, supposedly near the Senate saloon on Lincoln Way last night.

Reubaldizie, whose condition was considered critical when taken in the police ambulance to the hospital, at an early hour this morning, has an even chance for recovery according to attendants, the knife with which he was stabbed having failed to penetrate the heart or sever any large blood vessels. He was found by the police lying on the sidewalk near the Senate saloon.

A search is being conducted for a woman giving her name as Frances Shannon, who according to report, stated soon after the man was found that she could name a waiter in a local café, who was responsible. She is said however to have admitted that she could not definitely prove her belief.

It is considered possible that the woman claiming to have information as to the identity of the assailant last night, may be the same Frances Shannon arrested two nights ago in a Lincoln Way rooming house, on a charge of occupying a room with a man for immoral purposes. She has been released by the police upon her assertion that she would use a ticket which she possessed to go to Chicago.

Immediately following the finding of the injured man on the street, the police threw out a net in the hope of being able to apprehend the unknown "knife man" in case he attempted to escape from the city. A minute search was made of all places that might have harbored any one attempting to escape capture, and a number of non-descript suspects were arrested. H. Mikhalonez, a Mexican, is being held, having stated that he would be able to identifiy the man who did the cutting, having seen him after the affair was over. The police have not determined where Reubaldizie was when the cutting took place, their first intimation of trouble being where they discoved the injured man on the sidewalk.

Efforts of the police later today were directed in a search for J. C. Collins, employed as an extra man at the Senate bar during Frontier. According to Louis La Fontaine, bar keeper at the Senate, Collins and Reubaldizie had been put out of the saloon about midnight because they were quarreling. Collins returned, according to the account, and became boisterous over a fight which he declared he had had with Reubaldizie in the alley near the railroad tracks south of the saloon. Collins, it is said, was again put out of the saloon with the injunction to "stay out," the presumption being that it was after he had been thrown out the second time that the stabbing occurred on the sidewalk near the rear entrance to the saloon where Reubaldizie was found by members of the provost guard who reported it to the police.

Collins was not seen after being put out of the saloon the second time and it is believed that he made his escape by one of the early morning trains leaving the city.

VICTIM OF STABBING AFFRAY DIES IN HOSPITAL – OFFICERS SEARCH FOR MAN WHO STABBED HIM
___________


John Reubaldwee, the man who was stabbed last week in the rear of the Senate saloon, died Sunday at St. John’s hospital as a result of the would received in the stabbing affray. All that is known concerning the man is that he is 23 years old and is a chauffeur. Efforts to locate any relatives or friends have failed, according to the coroner.

If the man, believed to be Collins, who assaulted Reubaldwee can be captured, he will face charges of murder, according to local officials. Sheriff Picket of Rawlins saw Collins in a restaurant in Rawlins. When he returned to capture the man, the latter had fled. There was a freight train, eastbound, just pulling out of the yards at Rawlins, and Picket believes that Collins made his getaway on this train. Efforts will be made to catch him, and bring him to Cheyenne. He has already served one sentence in the county jail here.

Reubaldwee carried a registration certificate giving the name of Fred Louter of Bear Creek, Mont. The number was 105. Whether he registered under this name, or had another’s card is a mystery. Funeral arrangements will be announced later when the man is positively identified, and friends or relatives are located.

Reubaldwee was stabbed in the left breast, after a brawl with Collins. Men who were present at the saloon state that the two men went out of the saloon in the midst of a heated and angry argument, and that Collins returned in a few minutes stating that he had a fight with the other man and bested him. He left the saloon hurriedly, and shortly after Reubaldwee was found stabbed. He was taken at once to the hospital where it was thought for a while that he had a chance for recovery. He was apparently recovering Saturday, but suffered a relapse the day following.

John Reubaldizie Had Stolen Registration Card He Carried in His Pocket, Says Information From Denver
________________


That John Reubaldizie, the man who died two days ago at St. John's hospital as the result of a stab wound in the breast supposed to have been inflicted in a fight with a saloon helper named J. C. Collins near the Senate saloon a week ago, had stolen the registration card of Fred Louter of Bear Creek, Mont., in an endeavor to escape military service in case he were drafted, is the belief expressed by authorities, following information from the Denver police that Louter’s card was stolon from his room at 1851 Lawrence street.

According to the report, Louter informed the Denver police on July 27 that his card had been stolen from his room. It was found in a pocket of Reubaldizie's coat after he had been taken to the hospital. The presence of a card in his pocket would have cleared him from the probability of arrest on "slacker" charges* and the call of Louter’s number would not have resulted in the way of connecting him with the disappearance of the card, according to officials.

Collins, the man who is believed to have inflicted the wound that resulted in Reubaldizie’s death is still at large, efforts of the police to locate him having failed. Attempts that have been made to locate relatives or friends of the dead man have failed, and the body is being held at the Early mortuary.
