Ing. when several boys pouncod upon
CharlOj Zorchor, an orphan boy who is
employed at tho Buckeye. Ono boy cut
him on tho right hand with pom knife
aud another threw a stono at him. ue
says ho has boon stoned number OF
times.
Tho second was on Saturday night
and tho victim was beaten into in.
aensibiiity. This was John Willard, n
glassblowcr employed In tho Same
works. He was walking down Fourth
street on his way TO his boarding house
on Vine, and just after no passed
koehison's tin shop ho was unexpectod-
ly attacked. lie was struck on tho head
n terrible blow with black jack or
something OF this kind, aud knocked
down and kicked In the ribs. lie was
found lying on the pavement uncon-
scious, with tho blood Issuing from q
cut in tho head, and his ha. with holo
in 1t, lying about twenty ieGt away from
him.
Joseph schoGeld. John Brown and
Charles Schneli, three boys who wore
walking up street, made tho discovery.
At first they supposed the man was
drunk, but on investigation they dis
covered the blood aud spoke to the
man, and receiving no reply. became
uneasy and gave the alarm. Tho man
proved to be Willard. lie was carried
to lIogo's drugatore amt remained un.
conscious Tor an honr. Drs. d. O.
Williams and ]. II. uacau, who had
been summoned, soon arrived and werc
inclined to think his condition was
alarming. tho unconsciousness lasting
60 long. There was large cash in tho
back part Of the head, which required n
number Of stitches, and his entire head
was bandaged, all OF which was done
without Willard's knowledge. When
he showed signs OF consciousness tho
physicians asked him who hurt him, and
ho did not seem to be aware that any
thing had happened, or to know whore
he was. Repeated questions were ask.
cd later, and ho muttercd something
about the Flints guying him on Second
street, as he was going TO the posto tiics,
and four men moo,ing him on Fourth
street. He was escorted to his boarding
house By Policemen Fritz Och and
Scott Neal.
1t is supposed that whoever assaulted
him slipped up from behind and let
him havo it without any warning what
ever. Tho hole made in the hat indi-
Gates shat tho wound on the head vas
caused by black jack and not by n
brick or stone. II seems to have been
q pure case Of malicious assault. Not a
single thing was missing from any OF
his pockets. His watch was broken.
A considerable quantity OF blood had
run down the back OF his neck aud his
clothing was spotted with it. The
wound on his head caused conclusion
OF tho brain, and it Is one OF those as to
which only time will determine the re-
suit. He may die.

worker who was shot in tho leg some
time ago. is getting along az well rs
could be expected under tho circum-
stances. The physicians say he is in
prime health and could not be doing
