Stabs Man of Same Name

Two Tony Precaros, One Wounded.
One a Fugitive.

Chicago -- Similarity of names and rivalry over an Italian girl caused a stabbing affray at 816 West Huron Street. Tony Precaro, victim, was sent to the county hospital, while Tony Precaro, assailant is being sought by the police.

The men are cousins and reside a few doors apart. Both are 22 years old, and both have courted a girl who resides close by. A missive sent by the girl reached the wrong cousin, and when the tangle was straightened-out accusations were made by the rivals.

They met in front of the house of the wounded man and engaged in a fist fight, which terminated by one cousin drawing a knife and slashing his rival across the breast.
