on the sky light fell a distance of
about twelve feet striking the end on
his head. He was taken to his home
where developments soon showed
that he was hurt much more seriously
than at first thought and doctor was
called, who upon examination found
that the spindle on the end of the pole
had penetrated into the skull about
half an inch Embedding small parti-
cles of bone in the brain tissue. One
side became paralyZed, due to clot
formation, and he soon lost the power
af speech. He was taken to the city
hospital of Miss Lucy Lieb, where an
operation was performed and blood
and bones removed. He is now con-
siderably improved but not entirely
out of danger. His father and mother
from Atlantlc were called and came
Immediately to his bedside.
