An alarm of fire was given about o'clock on

wooden shanty situated on 18th street, between

Eund by the fremen a few steps from the door of
lis house, with horrid cash on the right side of
head, brains protruding and lying in an insen-
Bile condition in pool of his own blood. He was
mewhat scorched by the flames. On examina-
|on it was found that the wound had been made
h an axe-he was cut from the centre of the

,ng such as to lay open the skull, from which a
rlion Of the brain has since been removed by
Dr. jack The wounded man could not speak,
