E. and some other railroad men were standing at the corner of Main and East Diamond streets in front of Cooper's tailor shop, discussing an assault which Wiles had seen two men make on another about two years ago. Guthrie insisted that Wiles had not done his duty in not assisting the man attacked. Finally the argument made , them angry and Wiles struck Guthrie j with his fist on the point of the chin, j felling him unconscious to the pave- 1 ment. Blood gnshed from Guthrie's , nose, ears and month and bystanders ; feared he was killed. He was picked j up and was carried into the Central Ho tel close at hand, and Dr.-. S. I>. and Harry Bell and Bricker were summon ed. They had him removed to his home on S. Main street, where two hour's work failed to bring him to conscious ness. Their examination showed he was suffering from concussion of the brain and a fracture of the drum of the left ear. For a time it was feared there was a fracture of the skull also. However, next morning he came to and began slowly to recover. Monday he was able to get about the house. The broken ear drum will cause deafness in that mem ber. Saturday morning then was much discussion of the affair on the street, it being currently reported that Guthrie was about to die. Wiles has not been arrested. ACCIDENTS.
