Eugene O'Brien, for many years a
compositor on The Pioneer, but now
working in Louisville, was struck in
head by a brick thrown by an
unknown person late Saturday night,
and is now lying at the Gray Street
Infirmary in a precarious condition.
Mr. O'Brien was struck while
returning to his home at 619 Caldwell
Street. He had just passed three
people, and a few moments later was
struck in the back of the head by a
flying missile, thrown, so he believes

by one the people he has just passed,
although he knew none of them.
Although knocked almost off his feet
by the force of the blow, O'Brien
managed to make his way home,
where the wound was dressed for the
night by family members. At first it
was thought the injuries consisted
only of a gash in the scalp but before
morning, the injured man became
unconscious and delirious and the
ambulance was called from the City
Hospital. When O'Brien reached the
hospital, it was found that he had
sustained a fractured skull and an
operation was necessary. When this
decision was reached, he was
removed to the Gray Street Infirmary
so that Dr. H. H. Grant might perform
the operation. The operation was
performed Sunday night and late
reports said that O'Brien was resting
easy. Despite that fact, the physicians
hold out little hope for his recovery.
Latest reports last evening indicated a
slight improvement, but his condition
is still regarded critical.
