Osage County Chronicle, Burlingame, Kansas, March 11, 1880, p. 1. NOTE: This may be H. H.

McClellan, age 59, without any employment. A STRANGE CASE A Blow on the Head Destroys a Man's Power of Consecutive Thinking Near two months ago a youth by the name of Huston brought on an affray with a Mr. McClelland, a merchant of New Philadelphia, a small village eight miles northeast of Salem. Huston threw a brick at his opponent striking above his left ear and breaking both tables of the skull bone. The course of the fracture was such as to involve the third convolution of Broca's region. After lying in a precarious condition time, Mr. McClelland has recovered so far as to be able to come to Salem for the purpose of attending an examination of the case before Esquire Ward. It was found, however, that he was not able to testify. While he is perfectly rational, Mr. M. has not the power to frame his thought into language. The day previous to that set for the trial, on being asked to described the circumstances, began: "I was nailing up." Here he paused unable to advance, and the word fence being suggested, he nodded his head in the affirmative. He then continued, but after uttering four or five words, again stopped, unable to proceed, until the proper words were suggested. It is in this manner only that he is able to converse at all. The same difficulty occurs in attempting to write. He can often tell one name of a person whom he sees without being able to give the other. His condition is slowly improving but there is great doubt as to whether he will fully recover. The circumstances of the affray are said to be these: young Huston had been ordered out of McClelland's store, and a few days after passed where the latter was repairing a fence. Huston directed M. to lay down his hatchet as he meant to whip him. M. refused whereupon Huston seized the club and made the attack, finally breaking the club, M. meanwhile using his hatchet. Huston then seized a brick. A gentleman attempted to separate them and prevent the throwing of the brick, but Huston threw over his shoulder with the result above stated. McClelland is about 40 years old.

Louisville (KY) Courier-Journal, November 9, 1891, p. 6. Henry McCormick, aged 55 years, whose home is near Scottsburg, Ind., 28 miles from this city, met with injuries by being run down by a Dinkey train in Jeffersonville at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, that will be likely to terminate in his death. The train had just left the prison station when, as the curve just above Smyser Avenue was being approached, William Whittick, engineer on locomotive 608 perceived McCormick staggering along beside the track only a short distance in advance. The signal of danger was sounded, but just then the man stepped directly in front of the engine. His right leg was so horribly mangled that Drs. T. A. and O. P. Graham and D. C. Peyton were summoned to amputate it, which they did at the Sherman House in the afternoon. McCormick's condition is critical, and on account of his enfeebled condition he will hardly be able to withstand the shock. On Saturday, accompanied by his wife, he came to the city to do some shopping. He drank freely and was soon intoxicated. On the way to the Ninth-Street Railroad station, in the afternoon, where he and Mrs. McCormick intended to board the train for home, he left his wife standing on the pavement while he entered David A. Ball's saloon. The proprietor's wife was behind the bar, and McCormick, it is claimed, told the woman that he was acquainted with her. She denied what he had said, and McCormick remarked, so it is alleged, that Mrs. Ball told a lie. At this junction, Ball came in and assaulted McCormick, bruising his head in a painful manner. When McCormick was ejected into the street, he was unable to find his wife. Proceeding to the depot, he found her, and when the train arrived, he boarded it, but owing to his maudlin condition was immediately put off whole Mrs. McCormick continued her journey home. Yesterday morning several more drinks rendered him almost helpless, and when he got on the railroad track he was unable in his befuddled state to realize his danger. His relatives were notified, but no word had been received from them last night.
