The Washington Republican Washington County Friday Febraury 1, 1901 Geo. Jacobs Stabbed. Word was received here Monday through a Topeka paper that Geo. JACOBS, who lives in Rawlins county near Atwood, had been stabbed, but no particulars were received. Wednesday a letter was received from him giving the particulars. There lives near the Jacobs ranch a local tough who has been accused of stealing cattle. Saturday night he appeared on Geo. Jacobs' porch and looked in the window. Jacobs' hired man went out an dthe fellow was crazed by drink and wanted to whip Jacobs. The two men went to the barn and the drunk man was urged to go home. Presently George appeared on the scene, and the drunken tough pulled out his knife and started for Jacobs, threatening to kill him. Jacobs kept out of his way for a time but soon found he must disarm him or get killed. The two men grappled and the drunk man made a plunge with his knife over the shoulder of Hacobs the blade of the knife entering Jacobs' back more than an inch deep an dtearing a gash below the shoulder blade. Jacobs threw him to the ground disarmed him and bound him hand and foot. He then turned him loose, drew his revolver and made him get on his horse and go home. The fellow is now in jail and says he never had any trouble with Jacobs that he! was drunk when he made the attack. Jacobs is not seriously hurt. He will prosecute the fellow. A lesson should be taught that a drunk man should not have any more privileges than a sober man.
