Serious Accident to a Boy-The Shocking Fate
CT the Little Fellows Brother.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
MARSHALL, June 21.--Charles Black, of Nc
Keen, six miles east of here. and son OF Thomas
Black, was thrown from horse this morning,
and kicked by the vicious animal. His arm was
broken, and he was badly injured internally. 1t
is thought bis injuries are fatal. He is brother
to Robert Black the boy whose terrible death,
about year ago, was detailed in the columns of
the journal. Robert was thrown from horse,
and his arm broken in two places. His father,
who is somewhat of surgeon set the arm at
once. and according to approved methods, but
modification set in. DR.. Haslit, local sur
geon was called, but it was too late Maggots
attacked the mortified flesh, and for FIVE days
the poor child fingered in unspeakable agony,
the worms working on his living body.
An account IF the terrible affair pub
lished by a local paper, the Illinoisan,
charged DR.. Haslit with being the cause of the
boys death. For this charge Haslit sued the
Illinoisan for criminal libel and the suit is still
pending in the courts. The father is acting as
surgeon in the presentcase, also. The two boys,
Robert and Charles had almost miraculous
escape from death nearly three years ago.
They were crossing the Vandalia railroad track
struck the wagon and crushed it to pieces.
Their mules were instantly killed, and the boys
sent flying through the air, one on either side of
the track. Strange TO say, neither was hurt in
the slightest. 1t seemed that they both escaped
only TO meet worse fates.

there is just barely possibility that he may raj
~ for a time and be around. However. the wish
is father to the hope. Judge Davis" continued
he, ''did not know that he was afflicted with cry
sipelas until few days ago, and when told
him he said that he was sorry that he knew 1t.
This erysipelas is known phlegmonous. 1t
has attacked one leg between the knee and the
foot. and has caused suppuraton. / cut into it
in several places. He does not even yet know
that he has been a sufferer from diabetes for
quite while"
In reply to question Dr. Luce said ''The pa
tent does not suffer much, except from weakness
He is fully of the danger of his in fact
has been appreheusive since soon after he was
attacked by the carbuncle"
A secretary has been engaged all day in writ
ing letters and kilograms to friends of the family
in ali parts of the country informing them Of
the gravity of the patients condition. The tenor
of the letters is that there is 10 reasonable
ground for hope.
