Francis Harrington May Lose Foot Injured at Newland.

iDr. I. M, Washburn went to Lafayette today to see Francis Harrington, the young man whose foot was badly mashed at Newland some five weeks ago. It was thought at the time that the foot could be saved and he made quite rapid progress toward recovery and was able to be about on crutches. It is now reported, however, that the foot is causing him considerable trouble and it is possible that amputation may yet become necessary. A report came from Monticello this morning that a girl by the name of Marie Hayden, who for some time woiked here at McKay’s laundry, had been the victim of a cutting affray at Monticello, having her throat cut. It was understood that she was dead. Investigation made by The Republican disproved the rumor, however. CharlesNewton, the city editor of The Evening Journal was called. He said that his corps of reporters had failed to learn of any such an occurrence, however, although four men had had their throats cut. Their throat cutting was voluntary and ;their throats were cut on the inside with liberal applications of John Barleycorn. All were lined, each having to pay about $27.50 or going to Jail to lay that sum out. The Hayden girl, who was reported as the vietiih of the cutting affray, came here from Pittsburg, a suburb of Delphi. She was quite young and.reports coupled her name with some very bad conduct while here. She is supposed to have joined the carnival company at Medaryville and to have 'been traveling with them sinee that time.
