         The Injured Officers - The injuries sustained by officer
       CLANCY on Tuesday night are full as serious as was at first
       supposed. The kick of the horse was received full in the
       mouth and the concussion broke his jaw-bone in two places,
       knocking out one tooth, and causing the fractured bone to
       protrude through the flesh. The wagon-wheel ran over his
       chest and shoulder, and inflicted some serious bruises, but
       did not break any bones. One of the points of the horse-shoe
       penetrated the face and jaw, crushing a hole entirely through.
       The broken bones were not set until yesterday morning, when
       Dr. Axford performed the operation successfully. The patient
       will recover, but the healing will be slow and painful.

         Death of Officer CLANCY. - Deputy Sheriff CLANCY died
       very suddenly on Saturday night, in consequence or in-
       juries received from the kick of a vicious horse while
       in the act of arresting a disorderly person on the Campus
       Martius. The individual in question, a countryman named
       Fox, was arrested in the act of fighting, and broke away
       from the officer, jumping into his wagon and making off
       at full speed. In pursuing and endeavoring to stop the
       horses, the officer was kicked in the face, his jaw being
       broken in two places, and some of the teeth knocked out.
       Delirium came on Saturday night, and he died very suddenly.
       The funeral was attended yesterday morning by a large
       number of police officers, and he was buried beside two
       brothers in Mt. Elliott Cemetery.
