Ora Ball, Aged Is, Has a Ter

ing a Ride
ACCIDENT HAPPENS AT TAMA
In Company With Two Companions the
Lad Goes to Tama to Witness Ball
Game-Attempts to Get OFF a Freight
Train Before 1t Stops, and Falls Un-
der the Wheels.

Ora Ball, aged Is, son of Mr. and
Mrs. ). II. Ball, of 512 Jerome street,
was terribly injured this morning at
Tama. where, in company with Cutler
Abbot, son of Mr. and Mrs l.. c. Abb
bolt. and Charles Miller. son of Nh. and
Mrs. A. Miller. s North Sixth street,
he had gone to witness q ball game this
afternoon. The lads left the city on
an extra stock train about $50 and
shortly after 10 o'clock the accident
occurred.
Young Abbott and the Miller boy did
not witness the accident. The boys
boarded the train at different points.
and Miller and Abbott waited for it to
stop 1T the Tama chutes. Ball assumed
the risk of jumping off at the Main
street crossing. and fell under. The
wheels passed over both legs. cutting
off the right short distance above
the ankle, and mangling the left so
frightfully that 1t was necessary to am
putate. The lesson to the companions
of young Ball was of such character
that they did not remain to see the
ball game, but returned to the city
early this afternoon.
At first it was thought Ball could
not live, as he was suffering badly
from the shock when picked up. He
was carried into a surgeons Office, and
there, for time, ii was questioned
whether he would survive the shock.
Heart stmulants were administered
and he began to show signs of improve
ment. He rallied nicely from the am
putation. and At $50 this afternoon the
T.-R was informed by telephone that
he was resting as easily as could be
expected.
Mrs Ball. the boys mother, left for
Tama on the afternoon train and will
be with her son until he is able to be
brought home. Mr. Ball, the father
was working at his trade, that of a
carpenter, at point about four miles
distant from Tama. He was notified
by telephone.
Ball has been employed recently as
a shine boy at the Schoenhut barber
shop. He was formerly employed as 4
messenger boy for the Western Union
and Postal and at one time worked
as a bell boy at the Pilgrim.

story in connection with the article
concerning Dr. Hoffman and the sup
position that he was the long lost
Prince Rudolph to the effect that Or.
Hoffman thought at first that the story
had been given such wide publicity
in order to embarrass him just at the
time he was about to make startling
report concerning the typhoid fever
here. where over 700 patients are now
in a dangerous condition"
When asked about the interview at
the Pilgrim Tuesday evening DR.. Hoff-
man said that there was absolutely no
truth in the statement whatever. He
made no such statement to the News,
and the alleged interview was fake
pure and simple. He said that he con-
sidered the News so unreliable that he
did not think the matter worth paying
any attention to.

Chairs with high backs and arms,
after coming into general use with the
renaissance, began to be ornamented
with an amount ~of.carving and gliding
that has hardly since been equaled,
which came naturally from the artistic
tastes of the period. Their size, form
and the amount OF decoration lavished
on them indicated the rank, fortune,
authority or social position Of their
possessors. Bishops and abbots had
seats corresponding with their dignity.
while those below them sat on stools
or benches. Only the king and queen
and persons OF high rank could be seat
ed on chairs with arms and backs in
the time OF Catherine de- Medici, and
her sons. conrtiers and fayorltes sat
about them on stools called taborets.
This manner Of expressing difference
of rank prevailed under Louis XIV.
and his Successors down to the French
revolution. TO the chairs e~laborately
carved succeeded the armchair, 20

ID IMPORTANT variations, Is much the same

ties and ladies Of honor OF the king
and queen may still be seen in the
royal palaces Of France. They were
changed into the modern parlor chair
by simply adding a back. which has
hardly made them more comfortable.
