VIM. Bright is Now Expected to Be-
cover.
Police Court Cases and Other Local
Notes of General and Es-
pecial Interest.

William Bright, the boy who was shot
by Officer Hall, is greatly improved, and II
Is now confidently believed that he Will
eventually recover from his wound. Satur-
day he began to eat solid food.
BriShts recovery is remarkable, his In
juries having been of most serious ma
ture, and leaving almost no hope OF his
life. Although the physicians who attended
him resorted to every means medical SCI
| ence could suggest in order to save his life,
they for a long time believed their efforts
would prove futile. The fact that he is
| recovering is sufficient commentary on their
skill and the attention he has received at
the inf1rmary, an inmate of which he has
been since he was shot. Officer Hall will
be given thorough examination as soon
pear.
