DIED OF PNEUMONIA.
Report That Willie Roberts Death was
Duo to Injuries Untruc

A sensational report prevailed Satur-
day to the effect that Willie Roberts, a
15-year-old boy living with his parents
at 51S Gibson street, had died during
the preceding night from injuries re-
ceived in foot ball game. Credence
was given the rumor from the fact that
the boy really had died and that his
parents were slow to be convinced by
DR.. Wentz, the attending physician,
that death was due to pneumonia.
Young Roberts was taken Ill early
last week. He complained of pains in
his chest, and when questioned as to
the probable cause, said he had re-
ceived violent blow in the chest while
playing foot ball the day previous.
There was not hemorrhage, bruise or
other Indication of internal injury. but
the boy insisted that the pains in his
chest came from blow.
He grew slightly worse and experi-
enced little difficulty in breathing.
DIR. Wentz was summoned and imme.
diately pronounced the case pneumonia.
The patients condition grew rapidly
alarming and would not yield to treat
ment. His death at II O'Clock Friday
night was not unexpected. The funeral
was held yesterday afternoon in st.
Luke's church,

BOYER A RECORD BREAKER,
Gets Arrested for WIS. Beating Twice in
Ono DIV

Seldom does 1t happen that a man is
arrested: and jailed twica In the same
day on similar charges, but this was the
unhappy but withal well merited ex-
perience Of Charles Boyer, or Oakford
court, yesterday.
At II o'clock in the morning Boyer
was arrested and locked up by PATROL
man Meinzer on complaint Of Mrs.
Boyer, who charged her husband with
having numerically beaten her. After
four hours detention at the station
house Boyer secured his release upon
making a deposit for his appearance
this mon ming. An hour Or 50 after So
curing his liberty he went back to his
home and again shamefully abused his
wife. Neighbors sent word to the sta
tion house and Patrolman Meinzer once
more responded and placed Boyer under
arrest.
He resisted savagely and had to be
handcuffed. He begged to be released
again, but his prayers were unheeded.

STILL HOLD THE FORT,
Board OF Appeals Has Not as Yet Secured

Doara Oh Appeals has Not as Yet Secured
tho Assessors Furniture.
The city assessors still hold the fort
although another onslaught on their
citadel was made Saturday. A gang Of
six laborers under direction of City
Clerk Lavelle invaded the office and
after removing what remained of the
assessment books started to take out
the furniture. The assessors would not
allow this and said SO in such deter
mined tones that there was nothing for
the laborers to do but get out, and they
did.
In the afternoon Clerk Heusner made
application to City Clerk Lavelle for an
assessment book, but was refused. The
assessors were very wroth at this and
will make the incident the basis Of their
side Of the story which councils will be
called upon to hear next Thursday
night.

PLATINUM DEPOSITS.
The Only Ones in the World Found in the
Ural Mountains.

The IJral platinum deposits IN Rus-
sia are the only ones in the world, as
this metal is worked nowhere else, ana
Is known simply as a mineral nnely
disseminated in certain rocks. Plaui-
mum occurs in the Ural government OF
Perm. where it Is found on various prl-
yate properties and state islands. In
the district of Gorobladgst, there are
seventy allotments for the eXploita-
ton of platinum under different pri-
vate individuals.
The metal Is found In the form of
ailuvlal deposits, or platinum-bearlng
sands, which frequently also contain
gold These deposits vary in thickness.
and are rarely less than three and often
reach seven feet. The grains are usu-
ally small In size. but occasionally
small nuggets are found, weighing one
or more kilogrammes. The platinum Is
frequently accompanied by other rare
metals. such as iridium and osmiun. At
present all the platinum extracted In
the Urals Is forwarded in the crude
state to St. Petersburg, whence II Is
sent abroad. Although there are two
laboratories In the Russian capital for
refining platinum ore, the greater
quantity Is sent abroad in the crude
state.
The production Is subject to n tax Of
per cent. Tor leaStnoII anu per cent
for freehold works. The rapid and va
ried fluctuations in the price of pro-
duct havingno definitely fixed exchange
value, but indispensable to the arts, re-
fleets upon the production OF platinum
in Russia Thus. when the price of the
metal is high. IL becomes profitable To
work the poorer deposits; while Il is
only possible to work the very richest
when the price is low.
Although the first platinum deposits
In Russia were discovered az far back
as 1919. the actual exportation of this
metal began only In 1924 when rich
veins were discovered In the Nizhni Fa-
gilsk district. From 1928 to lSi5 platl-
mum money was coined In Russia. The
denomination of these coins was three.
six. and twelve troubles. The total
value of the platinum money put into
circulation was 4,250000 roubles Dur
ing this period the production OF plati-
mum Increased considera bly,. but when
platinum coinage ceased the exploita-
tIon OF the metal was almost entirely
stopped, and only revived In 1859.
