the performers kindly responded to
the demands, but the performance

The DEADLY HAT P1N.-Ed. Han
shaw,sa young chap of Elk City,
while playing with his girl, met
with rather severe accident. The
young lady, being put on the defen-
sive, drew her hat pin, and using it
for rapier got in thrust under
Henshaw's shoulder, running the
pin in nearly two inches. 1t struck
a rib and glanced off. The wound
was very painful. Aphysician was
summoned and the pin was cut out,
after some trouble. The young
lady, Of course, did not intend to do
anything but scare Ed. off, and
when she found out what a terrible
thing she had done, wept few tears
and swore off ever using hat pin
for sword again. This is the first
case of the kind that has come to
our notice; albeit a hat pin is a
weapon of warfare peculiar to the
gentle sex, and they are not given
as rule to sanguinary encounters
with their best young men, and
when they do they use sharper
weapon than the hat pin Charles
