Mr., BUCKLEY DOING WELL
While Mr.. English Will Not be Out
for some Weeks.

Mr. Fred Bcukley's condition was much
improved yesterday and Mr.. VIII Eng
lish's broken leg was doing as well as
could be expected. Mr.. Buckley will be
about again this week. Mr.. English will
be in bed some time. Yesterday Mr..
English told the story of the assault
upon them early Sunday morning. Their
wagon was tied in the alley between
Main and Water on Douglas. They went
to the wagon to get into it to go home.
Mr.. English says that when he reached
the head of the horse to unite him he
heard a thud and turned and saw
medium sized smooth-faced man with a
short club or loaded quirt had struck
Buckley to the ground. English then
sprang at the asailant and grappled with
him, the man hitting him three times,
twice on the cheek and once in the
mouth English was at the edge Of the
sidewalk and in falling must have both
struck and twisted HIS leg, breaking it
off. Mr.. English and Mr.. Buckley are
among the most popular men in the city
and haven't an enemy in Wichita, so the
object of the assault could have been
only robbery That is the case as shown
by the testimony of Mr.. English and
Lew Aspey and Buck Massey, who
drives a cab Mr.. English, after he had
been struck down, saw the asailant
mount a horse and go west on Douglas.
officer Lew Aspey saw the same man
rapidly riding west, and Buck Massey
who was near Douglas avenue bridge,
saw the same man making tracks as
/ fast as he could.
Mr.. Buckley had some money and Mr..
English considerable and this was what
/ the robber was after. The outcry
raised however, and the quick appear
