Mr. Claude Hurst Seriously In jured by a Careless Negro. Mr. Claude Hars , last night was ibe vic tim of the criminal carelessness of two negro boys and the nj aries be received are of auch a seriou3 nature that it will be weeks before be recovers. Jake Washington ard Aleck Wilson, col ored, were playing or quarreling on Liberty Street at Cottinos ice house, and Washing ton wa3 pursuing Wilson vith an ice hook. Wi'soa ran up the street, Washington fol lowing. At the crossing opposite Rytten berg's grocery, Mr. Claude Hurst who was crossing the street passed between the two oegroes and just ss he did so, Washington struck at Wilson with the ice book. The book struck Mr. Hurst on the side of the face, cutting through the cheek and breaking the upper jaw bone. A piece of the jaw bone, with four teeth attached was broken out, and his faca and mouth terribly lacerated. Washington says he struck at Wi'son wiih the hook and did not turn the hook loose until after Mr. Hurst wa3 bit. Others say that he threw the hock at Wilson. Mr. Hurst was taken at once to Dr. Geo. Dick's cffice, where an examination was made. He was then taken home and Dr. Dick and Dr. Baker set the broken j*w bone and fastened it together with silver wire. It is hoped that the broken bone will unite and that Mr. Hurst will not lose any of his teeth, bot at present it is not decided how serious the ir jury will be. Jake Washington and Aleck Wilson were arrested by the police and were before the Mayor's Court thia morning. There wa3 no evidence against Wilson, bu; Washington wad sentenced to pay a fine of $10 or work on the streets for 20 days. The fine wa? paid. Both of the negroes bave been arrested on a warrant issued by Magistrate Wells, and they will be prosecuted for criminal careless ness. mm . . - f Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a scientific com pound hading the endorsement of eminent physicians and the medical pre3S.
