RECKLESS DRIVING.

County Auditor WatseR-Hls Recovery Pog.
sibie-le Refuses TO Complain Against tho
Man who Did Not Keep TO the Ri.ht.
The condition Of Mr. James Watson, so seriously
injured on the Bloomingdale road on Tuesday, was
reported last evening not beyond all possibility
Of recovery. The skull badly fractured, but the
patient has not yet been attacked with the fever so
much dreaded In such cases. He has been kept
very quiet and seems to have slept atfully
and rested somewhat ct intervals. Much credit is
given to DIR. Frazer police surgeon from the Central
ONCE. who was on the spot at the time OF the acc-
dent and who rendered instant and important atten-
tons to the wounded man. The party who ran his
vehicle into that OF Mr. Watson Is said to have been
very much intoxicated st the time He was arrested
BY the police, to one Of whom he gave his card and
was allowed to drive away
Dr. Frazer states mat ne saw MI. Watson driving
past the club house about four O'Clock in the after.
noon: He was on the proper side OF the road.
Ex-SheriH o Brlen's sleigh was Keeping beside Mr..
WatSon's. From the piazza where he was standing
ne saw the COLLISION and hasiened to the spot where
he found Mr.. Watson sitting In his sleigh, quite
conscious, with his skull fractured on the right side
OF the forehead, aud the bridge OF his
nose broken and the face otherwise ds1gUred.
The INJURY had, to all appearance, been caused by
the fore hoof OF the horse IN rearing. The frontal
bone was the part injured, and the wound was about
ali inch and half In depth. He had Mr.. Watson
taken to the club house. ana did everything he pos
aud he was bleeding very profusely. All he could
DO was to stop the hemorrhage ana bandage
up the wounds. He remained with Mr.. Watson
Tor two hours, when the family physician arrived
In the sleigh which ran into MI. Wats0n's was on
the wrong side Of the road. He was arrested by
Captain Wilson, but MI. watson refused to make
any Charge against him, so ne was set ut liberty.
IL fearful that Inflammation may supervene, In
which case recovery Is highly improbable.
