IS STILL SERIOUS Samuel Augustus Was on the Streets Today ior First Time Since Hurt HAS BEEN SERIOUS His Jaw Bone is Broken in Three Places—He Has Been Bedfast » For the first time since he was injured, Samuel Augustus was on the streets today and his condition is yet serious. It will be remembered that his brother Jack on election day, struck him several times in the face, but the extent of the injuries was not realized at that time. Mr. Augustus was taken home and although he suffered much pain, the services of a physician were 'not engaged until the fifth day and it was then that the fact was revealed that his jaw bone had been broken in three places. Confined to his bed, the afflicted man suffered untold agony and at times his life seemed dispaired of. He scarcely has a whole tocth in his mouth as a consequence of the punishment received at the hands of his own brother. It has frequently been said ( upon the streets that Jack was very , fortunate that he was given a hearing I immediately,else a more serious charge would have confronted him. The picture shows are arranging for matinees on the afternoon of Thanksgiving and are all anticipating a rush of business. It js said that during a recent night ■ some fellow stole sixty geese from the poultry rooms of the Decatur Pro-! duce company and that since then it has been necessary to keep a guard each night. At this time of the year 1 it ia easy to secure that number from ' the yards without them scarcely being missed. 4 The offices of the Decatur Loan and Abstract company and Hooper & Lenhart the attorneys, will within a few days, be removed to the cffice building formerly occupied by Dr. J. S. Boyers on south Second street, where they will be located in the future. The rooms will make a convenient and splendid home for this enterprising firm and will no doubt be the cause for an increase in their business in the loan department which they specialize.
