A FRACTURED SKULL.
John Myers Struck on the Head with a
Billiard Cue by Henry Mccarthy.

Policeman Sutton last evening saw on Penn
sylvania avenue young man named John
Myers, whose head was covered with cotton
bandages. The officer asked him what was the
matter with his head. Nothing MUCH" was
the reply. Myers evidently did not want to
give the policeman any information. but the
officer learned that he had been struck on the
head with a billiard cue in the room beneath
the Globe Theater. Later in the evening
Myers father called to see the officer and told
him OF his sons injury, adding that from what
he could learn his son and another young man
named Henry Mccarthy were playing a game
Of pool or billiards at the place mentioned;
that young man named Hopkins was also in
the game, and that young Myers advised him
how to make a difficult shot; that he took
Myers advice and made the shot, and then
Mccarthy and Myers had some words and the
latter was assaulted.
Officer Sutton went to the Emergency Hos
pital, where Myers wound had been dressed,
and learned from Drs. Eilyson and Middleton
that the patients skull had been fractured.
Mccarthy, 1t appears, after inficting the blow
took Myers to the hospital and when he heard
the doctor say that his victims skull was tract
ured he walked out. The police know Mccarthy
and where he is employed, but he has not yet
been arrested. Myers resides at 62l street
northwest,

SHE LEFT HER YOUNGER SISTER OK THE STREET
AND BABE HER 60 HoME-Two DAYS OF ASx-
IErY-rHE FATHER INCLINED 10 THE THEORY
THAT SHE HAS ELoPED.
Matte Simmons, . girl fourteen years old,
disappeared Sunday afternoon and has not
been seen or heard of since, either by her
parents or the police. Her father is George
A. Simmons, and he lives at No. 9S2 F street
southwest The missing girl is large for her
age and is rather pretty. Her parents are
terribly distressed. Matte left home Sunday
morning to attend Sunday school at St. Paul's
Lutheran Church, corner of 18th and streets
northwest. She took with her her sister Ella,
who is three years her senior.
AFTER SUNDAY SCHOOL
Matte and her younger sister went to visit
Mrs. Clinton Smith, who lives on Massachu-
setts avenue northeast between LIST and I'd
streets. 1t looked so much like rain when the
girls reached Mrs. Smiths house that instead
OF going on home they stayed to dinner. They
remained at Mrs. Smiths until nearly o'clock
IN the evening, when they babe Mrs. Smith
goodbye and left, starting toward LIST street as
though they we're going home.
TOLD HER SISTER TO 90 HOME.
At the corner of LIST street Matte told her
younger sister to 60 home and she would see
her later, as she (Mattie) intended to take a
walk.
Ella insisted on going with her, but Matte
would not let her and told her she would have
to go home. While they were talking, Ella
says, lady approached and engaged them in
conversation. Then it was that Matte left her
and disappeared. The half-frightened child
went straight home and told her parents OF
Mattie's strange conduct, but her parents were
not at all alarmed, as they were sure that Mat
tie would return later on. She did not, how
ever, put in appearance.
REPORTED TO THE POLICE,
Yesterday her father called at police head
quarters and stated the case to Detectives Mat
tingly and Wheeler. When Matte left home
she wore white dress and black hat trimmed
with flowers. The missing girl was of lively
disposition and always wanted to be on the 60.
but her mother was rather strict with her and
1t is said did not allow her daughter to 90 with
any young men. Some of the neighbors think
that the girl eloped with young man with
whom 1t is stated she carried on a Irritation.
The girls father is also inclined to that belief
and so told the detectives this morning.

FIREBUG AND RAZOR CARRIER.
"A Dangerous Boy From Sandy Springs
at Large Again.

Dr. W. W. Godding Of the government in.
sane hospital was witness in the Police Court
today IN the case Of a colored boy named Mar
TN Foreman, who was arrested several weeks
ago for carrying q razor. At that time the boy
was taken into court and charged with the
offense. 1t was the opinion of the Judge that
the lad was not of sound mind, and for that
reason the court had him examined and COM
united to the insane hospital.
When the case was heard at the time of the
arrest the boy claimed that he was on Pennsyl-
vania avenue at o'clock in the morning on a
sport" and he thought he had as much right
there smoking a cigar as any other person.
JUMPING RAZOR
BE told the judge that the razor jumped
right oil the ground into his pocket" and he
repeated the story several times. He was
shabbily attired when the court sent him to the
hospital and today when he appeared he looked
like an entirely different person. He wore a
new suit OF clothes, new pair Of shoes and a
straw hat. Although his actions we're still
peculiar, DR.. Godding said that with parental
attention the boy would get along all right.
ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THE RAZOR.
"What have you to say about the razor now?"
inquired the court
81 got it from my aunt's," was his response
"What did you intend to do with it,"
"Oh, l just picked it up because it was
there"
The boys parents were present and Lawyer
Kicks called his father to the front. He is a
farmer from Sandy Springs, Md, and he told
the court that his sons mind was affected by a
fall down the steps.
Judge Miller remembered something about
a charge against the boy in Maryland and he
questioned his father about that
SUSPECTED OF ARSON.
The father said that his boy was arrested on
suspicion of burning stacks of hay, but he was
acquitted at Rockville because his mind was
not right
when did he leave homer"
"He left in the night"
something was sand about his having to
leave" said the judge. "How about that"
HE did have to leave" replied the boys
father. There were thirty men around the
house that night"
"A necktie party" suggested Mr.. Dumont
If this boy is tirebug and razor carrier"
continued MIR. Dumont. II think We had better
get rid of him."
THE BOY DISCHARGED.
The court said that if the boy was dangerous
he did not like to turn him loose on any COM
munity. The boys father was told by the court
OF the duty he owed his child, and the boy was
thereupon discharged on the ground that he
was insane at the time he was arrested,
