Hat Pin in His BODY.

To have hat pin six inches long
max ing excursions about ones in
terror department was the unusual
experience of John Weichers of
Grundy county. AT times for the
past eight or ten years Weichers, who
is 10 years of age, has had,excruciating
pains which led the parents to believe
he was afflicted with appendicitis.
The doctors thought differently. as the
pain moved about. Saturday sur
geons performed an operation on the
young man and removed hat pin.
The head was near the surface of the
body and the point near the large in
testines, which fortunately, it had
not punctured. About the pin was an
accumulation of rust and mineral de-
posit that increased the size TO that
of lead pencil. The mystery of how
the pin got into the boys body will
probably never be solved. That it
has been there for many years is APP
parent from the mineral deposits that
had accumulated Weichers is re-
covering nicely from the operation
and bids fair to make permanent re-
cOVerv

Two Killed in Shooting ARRAY.

Mrs. Sallie Morgan, wife of A. A.
Morgan, wealthy and prominent
farmer living ten miles east of Council
Bluffs, is dead, Ovit Thompson. Mrs.
Morgan's murderer, is also dead, and
Rosco Thompson, brother of the
murderer. is not expected TO survive,
all the result of bloody tragedy oc-
curing Friday evening and at the
hands of Ovit Thompson. The shoot
ing, which occurred at G o'clock, was
the result of an unnatural and I'M
requitted, mad infatuation which
Ovit Thompson experienced for the
dead woman, the wife of Morgan.
The two families are neighbors.
The shooting occurred in field
where Ovit Thompson saw and over
took his brother and the woman, who
had met there purely by accident.
Ovit shot the woman in the mouth,
killing her instantly. He then shot
his brother in the head. when, believ-
ing he had put to death the two who
he imagined, stood between him and
his happiness, the mad man quickly
walked to his home, where he sent a
bullet into his head, killing himself
instantly.
The Thompson brothers were both
unmarried Ovit, who did the shoot
ing, was 2S and his brother III years
old The sheriff is in charge of affairs
and an inquest will be held today.
The two families are among the most
prominent in the community. The
tragedy has aroused the greatest ex-
element.

LOUD PROTEST BY DEFENSE
Former Cashier of Chicago National
Bank on the Stand in the
Walsh Case.

Chicago Nov. 22.-COnstant wrang-
ling between attorneys. caused for the
most part by numerous objections by
the defense to the testimony of Frede-
rick W. Mclean, former cashier of the
Chicago National bank. delayed prog
ress in the trial of John r. Walsh,
charged with misappiication of the
funds of the institution, today.
Mr.. Mclean took the stand in the
morning to identify a series of memo
randum notes which he asserted he had
made out and signed with various
names, later discOunting these instru-
ments. and all on orders from Walsh.
So vigorous, however, were the objec-
lions of the defense to this line of tes-
timony that the cashier had not finished
his story when adjournment time came.
He will resume the stand Monday.
Five notes each for $92,0 600 were
brought before the jury, Mclean testi-
flying that he had signed and discount
ed them in obedience to the orders of
Mr.. Walsh.
