From the ohioagp Tribune.

From the Chicdgp Tribune.
Only 1Sof the 81 police officers wounded
at the Haymarket riot have returned to
duty. The death of Nels Hansen at the
hospital this week was the seventh death,
instead Of the eighth, as has been gen.
orally published. Sixteen are still UNI
able to leave their beds, and ~ in
all have not yet reported for duty.
The most serious cases are those of OH
GERS Jacob Hansen, Kiedzlo, Timothy
sullivan, and Shannon. Jacob Hansen is
at his home, No. 1877 North Morgan street.
He has suffered complete amputation OF
one leg, and although now experiencing
slight improvement has been very near
death, and Is not yet out OF danger. Tim
othy Sullivan, of the West Lake street
station, was taken to his home, No. 1913
Hickory avenue, the night OF the riot,
with what was thought to be a slight
wound IN the leg. He has been very sick
for five weeks, and does not seem to
improve, his physician entertaining
serious fears for his welfare. Officer
kledZio, of the w est Chicago avenue sta
ton, is in very critical condition. He
is at his home, No. 1853 Cornell street, and
has been growing worse for several days
past. Officer shannon, OF Desplaines
street, is at his home, No. "a Miller street,
and is still unable to sit up. Like Lieut..
Stanton he has no single serious wound,
buteighteen minor injuries from pieces Of
the shell, and the number of his wounds
has seriously retarded Improvement.
Officer Lawrence Murphy,of Desplaines
street, has sustained an amputatiOn Of
the left foot, but is steadily improving.
officer Hartford. of the same station, is
still confined at the hospital, and has had
two toes on his lett foot amputated. Nc
Nulty, of RawsOn street. is still at the
hospital. He has been very dangerously
i'll, and came near dying, but is now i'm
proving and has been quite rational for
several days. King, of Desplaines street,
who was the first wounded officer brought
into the sGation after the riot, and who
had his jaw frightfully broken, is at the
hospital and.is improving.
Tue following are still confined to their
beds, but are improving: Officers Bar
bour. at his home No. 32l West
Jackson street; Frink, at No.
l54 South SangamOn street.; Ed
Barrett, at No. 279 West Ohio street;
Jameson, at the hospital; McHenry, al
No. 376 West Polk street; Butterfly, at No.
426 West Twelfth street; John Il. Doyle,
at the hospital; and James A. Brady, who
has just been moved from theshOspital to
his home, No. $40 West Polk street.
Lieut.. stanton and quite a number of
the other wounded men who are able TO
travel have left the city and are seeking
health in different parts of the country.
Lieut.. Stanton Is at present In Boston,
Mass. Officer McMahOn returned to the
city this week, much benefited by his
trip.
1t has been a subject of much remark
that the wounds have been exceedingly
slow in healing, and it is generally be-
lieved that those who were struck by the
shell were more or less poisoned. Even
those who received slight injuries and
have now returned to duty carry game
leg, or a bandaged hand, OF some other
memeniO of the occasion which clings
perslstently to them. This is particularly
the case with Officer Frank Murphy, who
received a very slight wound in the hand
from piece of the shell. IL has never
healed, and yesterday he went to the
hospital to receive treatment, as serious
fears are entertained that blood poisoning
will even yet set in.
