ELIZA HUBBoRT ASSAULTED.
Shot by Negro ON wabash Train
Last Night.

From Fridays Daily.l
A young man by the name of Eliza
Hubbort is lying at the Ottumwa hos
pital suffering from two wounds in
flicted by revolver in the hands of
an unknown colored man. Hubbort
was brought to Ottumwa early this
morning by two farmers and claims
to have been assaulted by two colored
men on the south bound Wabash last
evening. His theory was that the OBJ
iect of the assault was robbery, as he
had never seen the men who shot him
before. Hubbort was standing on the
platform of the train with an unknown
man, and when about four miles out
of Ottumwa, the stranger knocked him
off the platform and followed up the
assault. Hubbort defended himself by
drawing razor, whereupon the negro
shot him. Two shots were fired. the
FIRST entering the left hand, and the
other lodging in his left hip. Huhbort
said he had about So in change in his
pocket, but the negro did not attempt
to get that after he shot him. S. +.
Skinner and George Vaughn, the men
who came to Hubbort's rescue, brought
him to the police station this morning
about 1880 o'clock. DR.. Herrick was
summoned and temporarily dressed the
wounds. after which Mr.. Hubbort was
removed to the hospital. This morn-
ing Drs, llerrick and Brockman made
an examination of the wounds, which,
while they are very painful, will not
result fatally. Hubbort says he. has
been working in the harvest fields in
this part of the state, but that owing
TO hay fever with which he is afflicted,
had decided to go to Il different climate
until fall. He is of the opinion that
he cut his assailant on the neck in the
scrimmage, and believes that he could
identify him without difficulty. No ar
rests have thus far been made.

son. Some time ago the little boy
Iswallowed two pins. From the photo
graph it was clearly seen that these
4 pins were lying close together with
the points in or against the spinal col
umn. AT the time OF taking the pho
tograph: which was. done by the DAM

pins. The following day in a severe
