As they approached, they discovered him walking about with his vest turned up over his head and probably somewhat bewildered. Upon examination it was found that the boiler had exploded, his head was badly cut, and face burned and swollen, and his neck and other parts of the body were also burned from the explosion. He could not tell when the accident occurred, but as the boiler was cold, it had evidently taken place the day precious. A report of the case was sent to this city, and he has received medical attendance and is improving. MURDEROUS ASSAULT - About 11 o'clock on Sunday evening as George MONTGOMERY, who is employed with Coroner VERMILYA, was going home, he was met at the corner of Eighth and L streets by David O'BRIEN, with whom he had previously had a dispute, and O'BRIEN attacked him without any warning and beat him severely about the head, and cut a long gash above the ear. Mr. MONTGOMERY was assisted home by two men who came along, and medical help called. He is not considered dangerously injured, but will be laid up for some time. O'BRIEN has been arrested for assault to murder, and the case will come before the Police Court to-day. AN UPSET -Last evening an aged farmer living near Whisky Hill was driving down Tenth street with a double team when his buggy collided with a street car and was suddenly thrown over. Mr. INGERSOLL was considerably bruised, as also was his daughter and grandchild, who had been in the buggy with him. The team, fortunately, was very gentle, and stood perfectly still until the occupants of the buggy were pulled from beneath the calash and the vehicle was put to rights again. SUDDEN DEATH - Yesterday forenoon Mrs. John SWINERTON sank dead upon the floor at her residence, in a fainting fit. She was in moderate health, but had been treated for similar attacks of fainting previously, and as her family physician is clearly convinced that her death ensued from this cause, the Coroner, after consultation with the family and medical adviser, concluded an inquest was unnecessary. POLICE ARRESTS - Arrests were made yesterday as follows: John DOE, embezzlement, by officers CARROLL and FRAZEE; Jack DONOVAN, disturbing the peace, by officers FRAZEE and CAMPBELL; Ernest WORKMAN, vagrancy, by officer FRAZEE; David O'BRIEN, assault to murder, by officers RIDER, FERRALL, LEE and CAMPBELL. HUMAN SKELETON FOUND - Yesterday Coroner VERMILYA was notified that R.F. WHITE, while prospecting on his father's ranch near Salisbury Station the day previous, discovered a human skeleton near the surface of the ground. The Coroner will go there to-day and investigate the matter. Alex. W.H. MacEWEN will be pleased to see his many school-book customers at his store, 610 J street, conducted by Washburn & Redman. A full line of school-books at exchange and introduction prices.
