The particulars Of a case of brutality
comes tc us from south Marshal county
that seems hardly possible in this age OF
the world II seems that son of Widow
Nelson, who resides just in the edge OF
Brown county, was over with team
helping Commissioner 0sborn's brother
to put in crop, One morning last week
he mounted horse and rode TO q small
lake on the farm to shoot some ducks.
Arriving near the place he fred from the
back of the horse, which SHE'D aud threw
him of, breaking his leg in two places
below the knee. The boy dragged him.
self nearly to the house, when Mr..
Osborn discovered him and carried him
the rest of the way, after which he rode
to DR.. Ballou's place in 1875, 50, and asked
him to come and reduce the fracture. AT
frs: hs refused to stir unless he was as.
sured of his pay. Mr.. Osborn informed
him that the boys mother VAS fully able
to pay his bill and had a good team of
horses al his place. The doctor then
concluded TO go. On arriving at Mr..
Osborn's house, lac refused to do any
thing unless the lad would give him a
mortgage on the team for 500. The lad
informed him that the team was his
mothers and that he had no right TO
mortgage it. Mr.. Osborn here stepped
in and offered to become responsible for
The bill, but the brute refused to reduce
the fracture unless he had the cash or
chattle security, and left the boy in the
condition he found him. Ii took AZ
hours to secure a surgeon from Columbia
and the boy laid there ell that time suf-
iering and when the doctor came his leg
was 80 swollen tina, in setting it the lad
swooned with the agony Of pain il pro.
