In q desperate battle last night between
officer Mcbride and Barney Kelly, the Of
f1cer was injured in SO serious q manner as
to cause the gravest apprehension for his re-
covery. He received a kick n the side
which may result in his death. Doctors
Cogswell and Woods were sent for and they
attended the injured man. They fare OF the
opinion that his injuries. are very serious.
The officer was walking hissbeat on Jack
son street when he saw a man lying ina
doorway near the corner Of Sixth street.
He found that hte man was asleep, but
when he got him awake he found that he
was very ugly. He took him to the nearest
box, at the corner of Sixth street, for the
purpose of calling the wagon. He had
sounded the alarm and had his, ear. to the
telephone when he was assaulted by his
prisoner, who had become thoroughly awHk-s
ened. The man sprang upon McBride's
back in his attempts to throw him to the
ground and, there then ensued q most Edes-
perate battle. Mcbride is q strong man anu
9 very athletic, but the desperation OF the
prisoner seemed to add additional strenstn 70
his muscle. He finally succeeded In getting
the officer. on the ground andseized his ear
between his teeth. Th struggles OF the OF
fcer released the hold of Kelly's teeth, anu
the latter jumped to his feet. AS the OF
hcer was recovering himself the rough gave
him a terrific kick in the side, Just ap94Hee
the thigh, and the officer fell back on the
sidewalk. Again the heavy foot descended.
but. the plucky officer had caught hoid OF
the foot, and he held fast. Finally. with !
supreme effort he got upon MS !eet, grap-
pied with the rough and succeeded n throw
ing him to the ground. After ne nad Sc

to the sidewalk in a half-consclous conoi-
.Inthe struggle. which the thus, made , dor
