very serious nature. DR.. Gish. of
Olathe, the attending physician, says

ing done to save his life.

board had become detached from the
covering of the hole and the little girl
stepped into the opening. She clung to
the top of the wooden structure, but
before assistance arrived steam and

When the little ones stockings were

1t is said Eggleston's father is backing
him with plenty of money and that
every effort will be made to save him
from the penitentiary, but it is certain
ly true that his chances to escape look
dubious. He can be sentenced tc ten
