like two weeks. His injuries h;uo
been described as contusion of the
body, a nd though his wife and chil
dren have been called to his bedsido,

recovery, perhaps, and the internal
Injuries will be quick In straighten
ing themselves out.
Much alarm has been felt h ere, as
little or no information as to the ex
tent of the bruises, could be ascer
tained, until L. Remmllard arrived on
the scene with Thomas' family, and
