who has been employed as hostler
at the Etna House stables for short
time past, was severely kicked by a
horse which he was engaged in un.
hitching in the stable just before noon
on Monday. He had unhitched the
outside tug and was in the act of un-
fastening the inner one when the ami
NAL kicked, hitting him on the leg near
the knee, and repeating the blow, hit
him in the upper part of the forehead,
cutting a frightful cash laying the
skull bone bare. Tue physicians who
dressed the wounds think they are not
of very serious character, though the
unfortunate man will probably be laid

Ward but short time, and was work.

The team belongs to Mr.. James Young,

before known to manifest any dispO.
sition to kick. lie did q very manly
and generous act in paying the physi-
clans for their services and making
provision for the proper care Of the
injured man, who has no relatives in
this vicinity.

officer Iniured.

Last Saturday afternoon constable
Squire L. Jennings, armed with a
warrant issued by Justice Sperra, re.
paired to the Enterprise Glass Works
for the purpose of arresting George
Coleman, an employe of that estab.
lishment, on a charge of assault and
battery. After the arrest was made
the prisoner turned upon the officer
and struck him in the face, peeled the
skin from his nose, breaking out one
of his teeth and kicking him savagely
in the groin, causing prcfuse hem
orrhage. Mr.. Jennings has been con-
fined to his house since the occurrence,
and fears are entertained that his in
juries are of a serious, if not fatal char
acter. The prisoner made his escape,
and as yet no clue has been obtained
as to his whereabouts.
