Which VIII Cause w. NJ. Baker to Lose the
sight OF an Eye.

Special to the Register.
Marietta, Ohio, July 16.-W. M.
Baker. a well-known citizen Of Grand
view. this county, is the victim OF most
peculiar and painful injury Two weeks
ago he was attacked by a half-grown
game cock, which struck him viciously
in the face, one Of its spurs piercing the
orbital bone above his right eye to the
depth of half an inch and breaking OIL.
The attending physician was unable
to locate the broken piece of spur and
Baker has suffered indescribable agony
since the occurrence until to-day when
the foreign substance was drawn out
by local occulist. Baker will probably
lose the sight of his eye as result of the
great inflammation caused by the
wound.
