DEADLY HAT PIN.
This One Is Endangering the Life of
William TrimbeL

William Trimbe1 an omnibus driver
living at 305 Jackson street, is walking
around today with three inches Of a
hat pin in the region of his heart. The
steel has been in his body for three
days, entering just under the shoulder,
and when he awol1e this morning he
found it had worked it's way to a loca-
ton at the side of his heart.
Trimbe1 threw himself on a lounge at
his home few nights ago, and in do
ing so struck the hat pin. He sup
posed he was only severely gouged IN
til the wound commenced to pain, and
later he found the pin with about three
inches of it's length broken off.
The steel will probably be located by
means of X-rays and cut out, as there
is danger of it entering the heart.

MORE SCHOOLS.
Sixth Ward Demands Better Facilities
In Potwin.

A demand will be made on the board
of education by residents of the Sixth
ward for additional school facilities in
that portion of the city. The Potwin
school house is now crowded, and Mon
day 20 Of the scholars had to be trans
ferred to Clay school.
Many of these children live in Au-
burndale in the vicinity of the asylum,
and the distance from their homes to
Clay school is great. Many of the par
ents are indignant over the transfer of
their children, and a formal petition
asking for additional room will prOba-
bly, be presented at the next meeting
of the board.
It will be impossible for the board to
remedy the matter during the present
school year, as next summer is the
earliest possible time an addition could
be built to the present school.
