Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARTINsvILLE, Ind, Dec. 10.-On Thurs-
day q four-year-old son of Robert Foster,
living west of this city on the Eminence
road. fell on the kitchen floor that had just
been scrubbed. By the fall his lef: leg was
broken midway between the knee and the
hip. He fell while running after another
boy through the kitchen. Just two years
ago another four-year-old boy of Mr.. Eos
ter's was walking over the kitchen floor
that had just been scrubbed. when the girl
who was at work shook the broom at
him to brighten him away. He jumped,
falling m breaking his left leg mid

The coincidence was recalled by the
ply stefan who attended both boys.
There is no two-year-old boy now in the
family to be q four-year-old boy and break
his leg midway between the knee and the
hip two years hence by falling on the
newly scrubbed kitchen floor. The boy in.
jured on Thursday 10 one of seven children
in the family. OF whom six had diphtherla

taken in view of the Atchison's re-
quest that southwestern Missouri river

To grant the request would be to disrupt
the associations; to refuse it would be to
force the Atchison out OF the association and
the result would be just as bad. The only
alternative is to induce the Chicago a.
Alton to join the association. in which
event the Atchison Will 10 doubt with
