HAS STRONG BONES.
Accident to q Boy Emphasizing the Need of a
City Ambulance

johnny Hafner, a ten. year-old newsboy.
was run over by an American express wag-
on yesterday evening and badly bruised
about the lower limbs. The accident hap
pened opposite the Western Union tele-
graph office on South Meridian street. The
wagon was driven by j. w. jackson. resid-
ing at Tuxedo Park. He was driving at q
moderate gait and did not see the
boy until he was under the wheels.
Hafner had jumped from a street car. and,
in attempting to cross the street. was
caught by the wagon. Police Captain
Dawson witnessed the accident and made
an effort TO get an ambulance. but, owing
TO the new rule adopted by the proprietors
of these vehicles. was unable to secure one.
He finally found a horse and buggy, and.
taking the injured lad In his arms. drove
to the City Dispensary. where medical at
tention was furnished. The heavy wheels
of the wagon had passed over the boys
right leg. near the knee. but fortunately no
bones were broken, and after the ugiy cash
had been stitched up the youngster be-
came comfortable and was sent TO his
home near the corner of Alabama and
Merrill streets.

CAUGHT In BAD COMPANY
Two Brothers Decline to Tramp with
Negro, Who Has His Revenge.
Having Committed Burglary He duplicates
Them and They Are Now Serving the State
for No Crime-Pardon to Be Asked.

Steps will probably be taken in q short
time to secure the release from the southern
penitentiary of George s. and James Reed,
brothers. who were sentenced for two
years each from the Jackson Circuit Court
for q burglary committed at Seymour
somewhat over q year ago. The two men
made business of trimming down butch.
ers' and grocers' meat blocks. and
when they worked made large wages.
They were. however. of rowing
disposition, and as soon as they
had accumulated little money would
spend 1t for drink and start on a tramp.
As soon as their money gave out they would
stop in some town long enough to trim all
the meat blocks in town. and then 60 on
another spree. just before their arrest at
Seymour. now little more than year ago.
they left Louisville, where they had
sQuandered all their money on o pro-
longed debauoh. They started for this
city on foot. and between Louisville and
Seymour overlook q colored man named
Ben Milton, and the three men travelled to-
gether for some distance. The white men
told Milton that they did not like to be
seen with negro, and inst before they
reached Seymour separated from him. and
passed through a short distance ahead of
him. That night there was burglary
committed in Seymour and Milton was ar
rested for the crime. He avenged himself
on the brothers by claiming that they had
been implicated in the burglary with him.
Upon his statements they were arrested.
All three OF the men were convicted and
sent to the penitentiary. the Reeds for
two years each and Milton for live years.
Milton now says that the brothers were not
in any way implicated with him in the
robbery. and that he perjured himself to
get even." Mr.. Alexander johnson. secre-
tary Of the State Board of Charities. upon
his recent visit to TO the prison, talked
with both the Reeds and Milton. and they
all told the same story. The two
Reeds. since their confinement, have been
not only in different cells, but In different
tiers. and their stories as to their where
abouts and actions tally in every particu-
lar, without possibility of collusion. Since
their reception at the penitentiary the men
have been employed in the foundry, and
the prison officials say they have been In.
dustrious hard working men. and given no
trouble. The Governor will be asked to
pardon them, because they were probably
not guilty of the crime for which they
were seQtonCeQ.

Sessions, expressed his views relative to
the conduct of the jury empane lied to
try the Indictment against George Fitz-
meyer, who was charged with atrocious
assault on Thomas German. The State
contended that Fitzmeyer used brass
knuckels. After discussing the evidence
for au hour the jury came into court and
handed Judge Hopper a written COM
munication reading:-
Can we have the assurance of the
Cour that, providing we find the
prisoner guilty of assault and battery, he
will not be sent TO the State PrisonP"
The Judge. upon reading 1t. sternly
remarked:-
The Court cannot make any such bar.

jury Is to convict or acquit the prisoner,
l am surprised that a jury of Intelligent
men shouldk know no better than attempt

be furnished by the Court, but no such
proposition as is contained in tbs paper
