William Anherg's Injuries Found to be
Very Serious.
NAPA, July 19th.-Gerhard Onken, who
struck William Anherg with a tanners
graining- knife and cut his head open some
days ago, has had his preliminary examin-
alton on charge of assault with a deadly
weapon, and is held to appear before the
Superior Court with bail fixed at ST. ZOO.
He gave the bail and is now at large.
When Anherg was first hurt the physi-
clan called said he would probably be all
right in few days. In the course of
week, however the man showed a high
fever and had slight convulsions, which led
the surgeon to think the brain was affected
He thereupon made careful examination
and discovered that the skull had been
fractured for the distance OF about an inch
where the point of the knife passed through
it, and that pieces of the skull, broken
from the inside, were pushing against the
brain, causing the convulsions Two
pieces of bone have been removed from
under the skull and the patient seems bet
ter, though the case may possibly result
fatally. The only wonder in the matter
seems to be that the injured man was not
killed instantly, as the knife used was
about eighteen inches long and weighed
several pounds.

siderably from leaky roofs. There was
