McDonald, 307 Campbell street, who was stabbed on the left side, of the head Tuesday morning by Branson Thomas, about 13 -years 'of age, was reported last nigat as- being " quite, critical. : . While bopes for his recovery were entertained at the James Walker. '-Memorial hospital, where the lad is receiving; treatment, it was stated that' his condition was very ... serious and that it was probable that he would hot recover. A remarkable story is told of the nerve of the wounded boy. After hav ing the blade of a pocket knife driven into the left side of his head just above the ear to such a depth that it was necessary to pertorm an operation to remove it, Henry rode his bicycle from Smith's creek at a point back of tbe. oil mill to Dr. Smith's drug store, which. is a considerable: distance, and then was taken to the hospital for the op eration, which was not performed un tilabout two hours Ta'teY. All' this time he was conscious notwithstanding that the kru'fe blade had been driven clear through' the skull.. ' . Henry and his friendB .tell an. entire ly different story of the affair from that related Tuesday afternoon by Branson Thomas, who is better known as Thomas Thomas. The latter stated that Henry started the sand-throwing after the boys had tired of swimming and had gone ashore to dress; also that Henry hit him with a brick bat, his fist and a root, all of which is de nied by Henry andother boys who witr nessed the affray. Witnesses say that Branson started the sand-throwing; that Henry did not hit Branson with either a brickbat or a root, but did slap him with his hand just before he was stabbed. Branson has been recognized with hia father for his appearance in court to answer to a charge of. assault with a deadly weapon, but no date has been set for the trial, pending the develop ments of Henry's wounds.
