A serious coasting accident. oc.

last night about $3.50 O'Clock. A
large NUMBER of children and
grown people were enjoying the
sport on the grade In the rear of
the Hotel Wells, when a bob sled
collided with cab on Cath
crime street. On the sled were
three colored people, woman and
fonr children. The woman. Mrs
Mary Langham, sustained the
most serions injuries. The wheels
of the vehicle passed over her head
and breast. An ugly cash was cul
across her forehead and one eye
was so badly injured that the at
ending physician, DR.. c E. Kahle,
is of the opinion that 1t cannot be
saved. She was also badly bruised
about her breast, but will recover
provided she Is not injured inter
nally. Her condition was quite
critical when we went to press this
afternoon.
The children escaped more for
tunately, and aside from lew cuts
and bruises were not seriously In
jured. While the accident Is a
most deplorable one, 1t was un-

But this is not only not the only
place where a canal can be built,
but there was law on the statute

appropriated for 1t. There was not

cause the republican party was to
get q campaign fund OF Ave million

excellent reasons from republican
standpoint for looting neighbor

recognize bastard child as fact

it because OF its iilegitimate birth,
