FELL IN THE DITCH.
Excitement at 11th and Broad SITS.
Early Inst Night.


Excitement reigned about Eleventh and
Broad streets last night. Shortly before
O'Clock Charles A. Osborn Of 319 north
Eleventh street. who is employed by the
Trigg Company. fell into a deep ditch
at the corner. His scalp was badly cut,
and his hip and knee were SO badly
bruised and strained that he will be con-
fined to his house for some days. He was
removed to his house and was attended
by DR.. Peyser.
After Mr. Osborn had been taken home
some of the curious went to the scene
of the accident. They were not little
surprised to hear groans issuing from
the dark and apparently bottomless
trench Another man had fallen into the
hole He was assisted out, and it was
found that he had sustained nothing
worse than bruises. and was able to go
on alone He refused to give his name.
It is alleged that the trench. which ex-
tends in two sections. on either side Of
the walk. and is eight or ten feet deep,
was, at the time Of the accident, unpro-
tected by guard-rails and lighted only
by two feeble lanterns, Residents of the
neighhorhond state that barriers and
more lanterns were afterwards placed
there by policemen.
While the injuries of Mr.. Osborn were
being dressed. Mrs Nishtengale. wild
ow, who lives at a21 north Eleventh
street was sitting alone in her darkened
hall Shd hadsa view of her side gate,
md her attention being drawn by a Slight
noise she saw buriy negro stealing
into the yard. She at once gave the
alarm and after a short chase the man
was arrested and taken to the Second
Police Station. where he was held as a
suspicious Character He gave his name
rs John Tiriherlake.
