his shirt. The affair was one of criminal

Henry kendrick Robinson. son of county
attorney John o. Robinson OF Thomaston,
was taken suddenly i'll on Friday morning
last, says the Courier Gazette He went out
in the morning on an errand. but returned in
short time, complaining that he was ill., and
soon went into a comatose condition. He
has remained in this situation ever since his
attack. The symptoms indicate severe brain
trouble, evidently caused by blow on the
head. The history of his case is somewhat
obscure, he being an active and muscular boy,
fond of athletic sports, the injury is attribu-
ted to various causes but they all point in
one direction, that there is severe cerebral
hyperamia, and on account of his youth, this
obstruction must be, evidently, mechanical
impeachment. kendrick is a great favorite
among all.
