DANGEROUS WoUND.-Througa a slight
difficulty which occurred between Joseph
Smith, delivery driver, and Frank w.
Dunn. who has charge of the basement story
of Huntington, Hopkins & Co.'S establish
ment, Dunn received injuries which came
near proving fatal. Smith is driver for
MIR. Stevens, who has the contract for
doing the hauling of Huntington, Hopkins &
Co., and went to door OF the basement and
wanted to take away box for private use.
Dunn had received instructions not to let
boxes go without orders, and so told Smith,
but the latter insisted and finally said he
would take one anyway, and was about to do
so, when Dunn as stoatly told him he should
not, and finally ran him out of the store.
Smith walked off towards his wagon, and
Dunn supposed it was the last OF it, but as
he was walking back into the store Smith
threw half brick, which struck him on the
back of the head, making fearful wound, in
which an artery was severed, and knocking
him down in an unconscious state upon the
floor. Surgeons were called, and the artery
taken up and wound drawn together with
stitches. tt is thought that, unless extern
siYe Inflammation follows, the wound will not
prove as serious as was at first feared. The
firm of Huntington, Hopkins & Co. yester'
day caused the arrest Of Smith upon a charge
of assault with a deadly weapon, and will
attend to tie prosecution OF the case, as Damn
was simply carrying out faithfully the in
structions Of his employers, and the assault
was without prOyocation.
