OF Mr.. and Mrs. X. A. Moulton, 1903
Norfolk avenue. who was injured Fri.
day night by house moving apparatus,
was operated on by Doctors Salter and
Holden at noon Saturday, after "A con.
sultation between the physicians, who
decided that the operation was neces-
sary to save the boys life. At
o'clock the lad was still under the in.
fiuence OF the chloroform, but his IA
Their declared the physicians had hopes
for his recovery If infection does not
set In. The wound is severe. says Mr..
Moulton. There are two large frac.
lures.
II was at first believed the boy
would be taken to Fremont for the
operation. The accident to the boy
has not been thoroughly investigated
by Mr.. Moulton, who says that as near
as he can learn, the horses were being
detached from the moving apparatus
when a collar or something tense was
suddenly released, striking the boy on
the head. The tongue. says Mr.. Moul.
ton, may have struck the boy also.
The accident happened about
o'clock in the evening when the horses
which were used in moving a house,
were unhitched. A collar on one Of
the horses, Mrs. Moulton says, struck
her little son on the head, rendering
him unconscious.
About twenty boys. says Mrs. Moul-
ton, were playing around the old house
which at 6 o'clock had reached
Twelfth street and Madison avenue
When the horses we're detached
from their crane, collar struck
little George, who was standing at
one side, throwing him some dis
lance. He was rendered uncon
scious and carried into nearly resi-
dence and the physician called. An
examination showed the skull badly
fractured and that the brain was ex
posed.
Mr.. Moulton is a prominent travel
ing salesman.

Sanata Maria in Gradi today to con-
suit with their clients on the counter
attack to be made on the informer,
Gennaro Abbatemaggio, when the trial
of the thirty-six Camorrists is resumed
next Tuesday.
With a fine show of indignation, the
accused declared that when permitted
to speak they would refute their for

the recital they said they had COM
posed themselves with great discretion
in order not to disturb the serenity OF
the court which certainly must even

The Bullet Taken Out.

Josef Kohout, the Rushville Bohe-
milan farmer who was held up and
shot by one of two bandits last Tues
day night, was operated on at Omaha
Yesterday and the bullet which pierced
his neck from the left side was found
near his chin. From Omaha comes
the report that Kohout is recovering.
In the meantime Mrs. Katerina 10
hout has let it be known that she is
not Kohout's sister, but is the wife of
Kohout's cousin, who possesses the
same name.
Her husband, she says, is living in
Prague, Bohemia, with her son who is
but IA years old. She came to the
United States about eight months ago
and her husband promised to follow
her if she found she liked it here.
Only recently, however, she received
n letter from her husband, who she
says is a habitual drunkard, and he
has refused to come here for fear he
would be unable to secure enough
whiskey.
Plenty to Drink Here.
II have written him telling him that
there is plenty of whiskey in America
and that if he would come here and
work he would get plenty to drink, VI
says Mrs. Kohout.
In explaining why she accompanied
her cousin in the emigrant railroad
car, she says she consented because
Kohout promised her $500 at the enc
OF the journey and that would have
been a good start for her and her hus
band.
