Independent Lodge and Christian En-
denvOr Meetings Last Night.
Yesterday afternoon two colored boys got
in a row on M street and began to heave
stones at each other. A missile aimed at
the larger of the fighters finally went wide
of it's mark and struck the little son of
Mr.. Frank Harper in the temple. The blow
knocked him senseless For time his life
was despaired of, but at last the victim
came around all right. He is still suffering
intensely, though with violent head pains
Joseph Brown, who threw the stone, and
his antagonist both ran on the white boy
being struck. Brown was overhauled at
the aqueduct by officer Fritz Passau. The
ether fellow was fleeing through the stable
yard of Lewis Collins when he was caught
by one of the hands about the place. AS
he was being carried to the arms OF the
law John Auckland rushed forward, and,
81 appling with the officers assistant, re-
leased the. boy, and he escaped.
