A Man with q Charmed Life.

Lawrence Long, a young man who resides
at Jacksonville, Ind, has had at least three
escapes from death Of a most remarkable ma
ture. When a lad he fell Off the Louisville
bridge, and despite the terrific tumble did
not receive a scratch or bruise, his only dam
age being a thorough wetting. When II
years old Long married the daughter Of .
neighbor secretly. On hearing the news, the
girls father loaded a shot gun and started
out to kill his son-in-law. They met and the
old man emptied both barrels at the boy, but
failed to hit him. Longs latest adventure
occurred at Louisville on the night of the re-
cent tornado. He was in the ill fated Falls
City hall when 1t was struck by the whirl-
wind, and went down with the wreck. He
promptly crawled out of the ruins and found
that the only injury he had sustained was q
small scratch on one ear,
