His left eye and cheek g wshed in a frightful manner, and there is a possi bility that his sigiot is permanently in- jured. The glass was broken into a dozen pied by the foree of the blow. and each piece did its work of cutting. Dr, Leisenring dressed the man’s face, but even after he was washed and by daged his countenance looked badly u up. Guiran says the assanlt was entirely without provocation.

If a suflicient flow of water could be obtamed 1t was intended to put down eight addi tional wells with seven-inch wire tubes, the first one being only a six-inch well Each well would have a smal! steam eyl inder, mounted on the top of the tube, which would pumyp the water into a stand pipe; to be located on hgh ground, from which the stock yards and the town of South Omaha could obtain its water supply. Mr. Cook, the son of the inventor of this system of driven wells, is here su perintending the sinking of the expery mental well. They struck surface water at a depth of ten feet, but did not meet s the Cook system of tube we with anything that gave promise of a good supply until they struck sand and - gravel at dopth of 103 feet. Suddenly a sort of bubbling and warning sound was heard and a vol ume of gas issued from the mouth of the well, The pressure was so great that when a forty pound cap was placed over the top of the tube it was kept bobbing up and down at a lively Some ot the spectators who held their hats over the tube had the pleasure of secing them ted upward quite a distanee. There no perceptible odor to the gas, but those who breathed it afew minutes com plained of severe pains in the head and dizziness. It was some time betore any ono could be found who was cou s enough to make n test of its combustible properties. Lighted matches held over the well were imstantly blown out, as was also a picee of lighted paper, and it doecided that the gas would not buen.
