Ira HutTkins, young student at
BroadCIus. and center for the Broad
5dus football team, jumped off the
railroad bridge near the Barnes
crossing at $50 o'clock Tuesday
night and sustained q fractured
ankle.
At first it was supposed an at
tempt at snicide had been made by
him, prompted by bropling over the
terrible defeat the Davis Elk:ns
team at Elsins gave his team last
Saturday and also because of his
thinking tco seriously over the
gloomy prospects for The Broaddus
team, after such a miserable begin
ming, and ac the team is The pride
of his life and as Broaddus reptlta-
ton is at stake, which is so dearly
loved by him, he worried himself
into Attempting the rash act of hurl-
ing himself many feet below the rail-
road tracks.
However the belief of some is and
there arc grounds for it, that no
jumped merely through fear, he and
a companion being in that section,
when man suddenly appeared and
yelled at them as if to do them in
jury. In his excitement he did not
notice that he was on the bridge.
The injury was of such a serious
nature that he was sent to st.
