DIED OF INJURIES
Jacob J. Dorschell Killed in a Row in a Saloon
Last Tuesday night a row occurred in Albert-Maciejewski's saloon, during which two young Germans, Jacob J. DORSCHELL,
who lives at the corner of Hudson and Wadsworth streets, and Peter THEIS, who lives at 632 North street, were injured
so severely that they were taken home in the patrol wagon. Officer WEBER, who quelled the disturbance, placed the
proprietor of the place and Vincent and Ignatz SAWNOR, under arrest. Wednesday morning the two men were called
for examination but as the victims of the assault were not able to appear the examination was postponed. As it
was not thought the injuries of the men amounted to any more than those usually received in a saloon row, the prisoners
were paroled to appear for examination on the 24th.
Saturday night about 9 o'clock word was received at the police station that DORSCHELL had died of his injuries
and officers were at once sent out to arrest the three men on parole. They were soon found and placed under arrest.
Dr. BARBER attended young DORSCHELL and it was not thought until Saturday afternoon that his injuries would prove
fatal. There were no marks on the body and death was the result of an injury to the brain caused by a blow on the
head from a billiard cue. DORSCHELL was 21 years of age and leaves his parents, six sisters and five brothers.
THIES, who is still suffering from injuries received in the row, will recover.
Coroner GRAHAM was summoned soon after the death of DORSCHELL. He visited the house, viewed the remains and decided
to hold an inquest at the house this evening.
The three men under arrest for the murder were not taken from jail morning to the police court. District Attorney
BENTON will have charge of the case and they will not be examined until he is prepared to conduct the case.
Dr. COMBES, coroner's physician on the east side, assisted by Drs. SIBLEY, REMINGTON and FRENCH, made a post mortem
examination at 10 o'clock this morning at DORSCHELL'S residence, corner of Hudson and Wadsworth streets. The result
of the examination showed the skull to be fractured at the vertex or upper part and extending downward and backward
to the base.

BOTH LEGS AMPUTATED
Mrs. Charles SCHRUTH while picking up coal yesterday afternoon near the Scio street crossing was struck by a Central
train and seriously injured. Both of her legs were so badly crushed that it was found necessary to amputate them
below the knee. This operation was performed at the City Hospital whither she had been removed. During the night
she rested quite comfortably and it is thought she will recover. Mrs. SCHRUTH is forty years old and is the mother
of three children.
