His face was horribly be nangled. and the physicians had to ga emove his right eye and perform an 0E peration on his skull. He was car- gi ied to the hospital at the Voorhees je Ichool, and is doing very well, the hances for his recovery being favor.ble. Jennings and Moorer are both p. legroes and live on Mr. W. M.
