FRACTURED HIS SKULL.
Countryman Is Seriously Injured by q
Fall.


Peter Knollenberg. a rancher living In
Tracy, California. who recently arrived in
this city. was probably fatally injured by a
fall last night, and now lies In the Receiy
ing Hospital in precariOus condition.
Several people noticed the man wander
ing about the water front during the day.

East street toward Mission. He reached
the doorway OF Dingley 4 Co.'s flour ware
house, when he was seen TO fall TO the side
walk, striking the back of his head on the
projecting dOOrsill with terrible force. He
was picked up in an unconscious condi-
tion and bleeding freely from deep cash in
the back of the head by Policeman Dowd
and carried into q neghboriIg saloon until
the patrol wagon arrived to convey him TO
the Receiving Hospital. where Drs. SOmers
and Berry found that he had sustained a
fracture of. tine base of the skull.
The physicians found deep depression
of the bone and an old scar. which indi-
Gated that the skull had been injured In the
same place before, the conclusion of the
last fall greatly extending the fracture, and
they have little hope of his recovery.
kDollenberg was veteran of the late
war, hayinc served In the Fifty-third Mas
sachusetts Regiment and came TO this city
to make an application for pension. He
had considerable money in his possession on

NEW ORLEANS, Sept Sat O'clock
this morning Sullivan arose, and shortly
after he was driven TO the Young Mems
Gymnastic Club where he proceeded to
take his daily exercise. He pounded the
leather bag for nearly twenty minutes, al
though the morning was very warm. Rope
jumping followed.
Finally, when Phil Casey's face beamed
with satisfaction at the condition of his
charge, he called the play off for the morn
ing. At that time the big fellows short
hair was glistenng with moisture. His
face was bathed in perspiration and great
drops were falling almost in streams from
his nose and chin.
''Its a bully turn you are getting this
morning" said Jack Ashton, who was HIM
self thoroughly wet with his exercise OF
ball-throwng with the champion.
The big man was led down the stairs to

water Then with his pUnderous arms up
lifted he seized pendentTOpe and half hung

by hand. The rapid rubbing was pune

of his handlers, quickeniDg the circula-

that the dumping ground described is fine

suggests that the authorities should require
all garbage to be burned instead of allowing
1t to be dumped in a waterway that does
net carry off what Is placed there.
Another CORES pondent suggests that peo-
pie who live in flats should discontinue the
