John Vervoor', residing on Clinton avenue, im | Weet Hoboken, while on bis way home after » game of base ball yesterday evening, was dealt terrific blow in the back ef the head with a bare ball bat by John Barret. He fell unconscious to the ground. His bead swelled to nevrly twice its Datural size, aud he threw up blood and sunk so Jagt up to a late hour that there seemed to be po possible chance for his recovery. The assa: fled precipitate|y toward Hoboken, after deliver- Ing his deadly blow, and was not captured up to midnight. The prejuse to this iresh deed of blood began several weeks ago on the vacant lots near the Mountein road between Ino and Weehawken streets in the township of West Ho- boken, where the parties avove mentioned, im company with several young acauaintances, were in the habit of assembling on Sunday aiternoons to play base ball, The young athletics were,not very choice in their expressions, and nad to be driven repeatealy (rom the grounds, Tuey wou@ re‘ire beyond the boundary !ine into Weenawket or to North Bergen or some other neighboring township, however, thus managing to bame the pouce.
