TREBUE GETTING ALL RIGHT.
He was Removed to His Home at Williamstown on Wednesday.
James Trebue, who was mysteriously assaulted and thrown upon the O. R. R. tracks at Williamstown some weeks ago, and who has been under the O. R. R. physicians care at the Light House in Parkersburg ever since, was taken to Squire McKinney's home at Williamstown Wednesday.
Young Trebue is improving rapidly. His arm which was badly crushed will not have to be amputated as at first thought and the patient is gaining in strength steadily. He was accompanied to Williamstown by his mother who has been at his bedside ever since the accident.
The case is a strange one and there is considerable of a mystery surrounding the accident or assault. That he was assaulted and thrown upon or beside the track is believed by many and there is a pretty strong suspicion concerning the cause that led up to it. Trebue either cannot or will not remember anything about the matter and so the mystery remains until such time as he may be able to remember the events of the night on which the trouble occurred.
