PERCY liONGFEIiLOW INJURED.

Percy Longfellow, a clairvoyant late of McKnight’s hypnotic circus, was injured Tuesday afternoon by being stepped on by a horse which was being driven by a Swiss teamster at St. Joseph’s new building. He was wheeling a barrow load of material to ttie masons on the building and failed to notice the approaching team. The driver failed to comprehend his fellow workmen’s crys of warning, and he drove directly into the wheelbarrow. The Impact knocked Longfellow from his feet, and before the teamster could stop the horses, one of them stepped directly on Longfellow’s stomach. He was taken to Mrs. Grace Pumphrey’s, where with his wife and baby he has been boarding, and it was first thought that he had been very seriously hurt, but he is now up and about and will probably be able to go to work again next week.
