stepped on the end of a loose board
which tipped up, throwing him down.
In falling he struck the iron beams on
the first floor, sustaining a severe cut in
the back of the head, a compound frac-
ture of the right elbow and bruises on
the body. His limp body rested on the
beams but a moment then slipped
through into the basement The un.
fortunate man was picked up uncon,
scious, but came out of the stun in a
few moments. Medical aid was snm-
moned at ouce and the injured man
was removed to the hospital where his
wounds were dressed and tender hands
did all within human power to relieve
his suffering. The accident that has
befallen Mr. CAVITY is especially sad as
he had been out of the hospital but a
few day, where he had been confined
eleven week owing to injuries received
by kick from horse. The work on
the federal building was the first he
had undertaken since his recovery.
Mrs. Sherman Dye, of Boone, Iowa
who was accused of sending a.box OF
poisoned candy to Miss Rena Nelson, OF
Pierre, from the effect of eating which
it was thought the girls died, has filed
suit for divorce, and asks that the court
compel her spouse to support her after
legal separation. In her allegations she
has the usual long string of causes for
the action, among which may be men,
toned cruelty y and spending time
with other women. The poisoning of
Miss Nelson and her subsequent death
caused much excitement in Pierre, and
the feeling became quite bitter against
Mrs. Dye who, it was thought, sent her
the poisoned candy through a spirit OF
revengeful jealousy. Mrs. Dye was ar
rested but for lack of sufficient evil
dence to hold her, she was released.
Dye had met and given attention to
Miss Nelson while she was visiting at
Boone, Iowa. -
A year old boy of Minneapolis stole
his mothers clothesline a few days ago,
and started out to lasso street cars.
Having arranged his lariat he tied the
long end of the line about his waist,
thereby bringing grief to himself in
large chunks later in the game. After
several attempts the young man finally
made a good toss and roted in the
headlight of swiftly moving car and
in an instant he was cutting figures up
in the air with an occasional bump on
the ground. The motorman saw the
performance and brought his car to q
sudden stop. The lad was taken to his
home where it was found that no serious
injuries had been received save few
bruises and general shaking up. The
boy is wiser now.
