friend in joke. The sudden and un-
expected blow from behind caused the
Young man to fall and strike the end
of his spine on a rock, injuring the
spinal column. from which INJURY
he died after two operations.
The other case was that of boy who
was jabbed in the side by hat pin
in the hands of a colored girl who
had been leased in a joking way by a
number of boys on st Valentine $
day. As usual. in such cases, the
wrong boy was the victim. Jokes
NAV be carried too far. and certainly
are when they plunge the victim into
