Savage - Pat
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, 16 July 1892
Monday at the poor farm Pat Savage, an old man decrepit and powerless, was attacked by another inmate, A.J. Smalley, a powerful man, who used a slung shot to do his work and almost killed. His head was crushed and his arm rendered powerless. Savage is now bed fast and if inflammation sets in will die. Things seem to be managed in a rather peculiar manner at the county farm when incidents like this are allowed to occur. - thanks to Kim H
