JOHN DUNNICK SERIOUSLY INJURED
Leg and Jaw Broken on Account of a few Jokes.
WILL BE LAID UP INDEFINITELY
J.A. Dunnick will now be laid up for some time, all on account of his cracking a few jokes with A.I. Swearingen on Monday evening in Ben Meisel's Place. It seems Mr. Swearingen had been having a little fun with Tom Concannon who soon left, after which Dunnick told Swearingen that he should not pick on Mr. Concannon as he was harmless, when Mr. Swearingen said to him, "I want you to know I am an awful good man," to which Dunnick replied in a joke, "Yes, I know, your picture ought to be among the funny ones in a newspaper." This made him angry and while Dunnick was turned around, Swearingen batted him on the jaw. Not being prepared Dunnick staggered and caught his foot in the foot railing breaking his left leg at about the ankle. At the time he did not realize that he was hurt very badly but walked home on his broken leg. By the time that he reached home he began to feel very weak and Doctors Carlile and Williams were called. Upon examination he was found to have a broken leg and also a broken jaw; Dr. Jens J. Sinn was called and fourteen wire stitches put in his jaw before it could be properly bandaged.

It no doubt, will be some time before John can do anything, if he has the best of luck. This is a bad state of affairs as John is not able to loose any time, this being the time of the year when a manager and team captain make good wages. However, we hope that he may soon be out again.
