wind were reported yesterday. The first
was one in which Mrs. August A. UriewicZ,

cape from being lacerated by falling pane
OF glass. \ large pane of glass fell from
the fifth story of the Vonnegut Hardware
Company's building on Washington street

Luckily the pane sailed through the air
and struck her head fatwise, creating a
shower of glass around her. Mrs. Uric
wicz was stunned but not cut Had the
glass fallen edgewise 1t undoubtedly would
have caused her death She was taken to
the City Dispensary and revived.
The other accident befell Bailiff Charles
Dawson, OF Police Court. While sitting at
his desk a large window in the police sta
ton was blown out, and the fragments of

rushed up and, with a kick, drove it
away from its horrible repast. The

him in the way of unsolicited refresh

finding none he wandered out into the

the door and asked him what was the
