A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS

Which Occurred In and About the City
Yesterday.
Last evening a man who gave his name
as Marion Stephens was discovered lying
on Market street, surrounded by crowd,
BY Officer West. He took the man to the
City Hall, intending to put a charge of va
grancy against him, and he was placed IN
a cell. 1t was then found that he was
suffering from an injury of some sort, and
Chief Dslbrugge directed that message
be sent for DR.. Garrison. The Doctor en-
quired il it was a prisoner, and was In
formed by Lieutenant Gaus that that was
the fact. DR.. Garrison at once came down,
and entering the Office Of the lookup
keeper, asked the man il he was prls-
oner. He said ne was not, whereupOn DR..
Garrison. who is not compelled te at
tend others than prisoners, left.
Chief Delbrugge. who supplied this
information, at once sent for Coun-
ty Commissioner DObbins, and he respond
ed, and sent for DR.. Wilson, the county
musician. DR.. Wilson made an exami-
nation and asked questions which revealed
that the man belonged in Iowa. While
walking along the railroad track, near
Mansfield, O., he fell through trestle,
and was injured in the side. he came on
to Wheeling, where he became exhausted
and laid down in the street, where he was
arrested by Officer West, who did not
know he was hurt.
When DR.. Wilson had prescribed, there
Yves no money to purchase medicine with,
the city making no provision for inciden-
tai expenses of that sort, and the Chief
had TO do the act he is called upon to per-
form every day-gO down in his own
pocket.
There ought to be fund from which the
cost of postal cards, kilograms, stamps,
medicine, and such expenses could be de-
frsyed,
