Greatly Exaggerated.

CINCINNATI, April 27.-Col. d. w.
McClung, Collector of Internal Revenue,
who lives at North Bend, and who was
almost an eye witness OF the accident
to Mrs. Eaton, and who saw her soon
after she was removed to Mr. Hayes
house, says the story of her injury was
greatly exaggerated In the first reports,
but after the doctor had made his exam
ination the family determined to sup
press the news OF the accident in order
to not give unnecessary alarm to the
President and her other relatives. Mrs.
Eaton fell on her face, her forehead
was cut and her chin abraded, and she
received such a conclusion OF the brain
as served to make her unconscious less
than half an hour. There were no
bones broken and no serious contusions.
