This morning. the occupants of the

tress proceeding from the office of DIR.
Siddall, but for time paid no particu-

some young person who was getting a
tooth pulled. AS the cries continued
some one made an investigation when it
was discovered that little Theodore
Nickelsen, son of Mrs. Weis' of this city
had visited the doctors office to get
tooth pulled and closed the spring bolt
of the front door which left him in the
vestibule so that he could get neither in
nor out. The doctor was absent and the
poor child was half scared to death till
outsiders assured him the doctor would
soon be back and let him out. It was
only little till he was released but as
soon as the door was opened he burst
into tears.
