Unconscious at Townsend. Will Die
Townsend, Dec. 19.-John Chand-
Ter, a twelve-year-old colored boy,
was probably fatally injured by a
horse kicking him while he was
playing around the animal yester-
day. The boy was found uncons-

stable on what is known as the
"California Place" farm Since
the accident the boy has shown but
little improvement. A few years
ago the victim lost little brother
in similar accident, the boy dying
after remaining unconscious nearly
week from the horse's kick. The
attending physician entertains no
hope for the recovery of John. He
is a son of Elias Chandler, who
