STABBING AFFRAY at AUSTIN, N.T. - The following particulars of an affray at Austin, N.T., are given in the 'Reveille' of Sept. 23d:
Last evening about dark, a stabbing affray occurred in Main street, in the 4th Ward, between John GILHAN and Frederick DINKLE. It seems that both are blacksmiths and that DINKLE had formerly been employed by GILHAN, but had recently established a shop of his own, by which act he had incurred GILHAN's displeasure. Meeting in the shop of GILHAN, the parties quarreled, and after a short tussle separated, and DINKLE left. GILHAN then armed himself with a derringer and dirk and followed DINKLE, overtaking him in a short distance, when DINKLE turned and said, "Are you going to shoot me-" They immediately clinched and scuffled for some minutes, when DINKLE exclaimed, "He has stabbed me!" and ran to KING's saloon, which was near by, where, after taking off a portion of his clothing, he was found to be stabbed several times in and about the abdomen, with his bowels protruding. Doctors CHAMBLIN and THOMAS examined and dressed his wounds. They express the belief that he cannot recover. GILHAN started back toward his shop as soon as DINKLE left, and was taken possession of by the crowd, who took from his person the derringer and dirk, and marched him to the county jail, to which he was committed.
