e. M. Mccall was assaulted and seri-
ously injured shortly after Z o'clock
last evening, as he was leaving his

Calls condition is critical.
Some children playing in the vicinity
early in the evening noticed a stranger
lettering in the alley, and a good de-
scription Of the assailant was secured
from them. A blunt instrument, evi-
IDENTIFY heavy hickory club, was used.
The first blow landed back Of the ear
and feiled Mccall. Not content with
this the man struck the PROSTATE att
torney two more blows on the forehead,
then fed down the alley, leaving his
victim insensible on the pavement. The

No reason can be assigned for the
attempt on McCalrs life. Ete has been
