an hour. DR.. Board was standing
close to one Of the large windows
when the car gave a sudden lurch on
a curve. He was thrown with great
force against the glass and the win
dow was broken into a thousand
pieces.
DR.. Board hung in the air for an
instant and those who had heard the
crash and saw his predicament, ex-
pected to see him go out through
the broken window. He could not
catch to anything and the Eothers
were unable to assist him. The car
Immediately gave lurch in the op-
posite direction and threw DR..
Board back against the dining table.
This was all that prevented him
from falling outside the car, and as
the train was running at so high a
rate of speed he probably would
have been killed or if not would have
been seriously injured.
The broken window let in a rush
of cold air and the occupants of the
car almost froze during breakfast.

cracked the glass, but did not break

Claims To Be a Foundry
Hand Going South On
Foot.

AS ]. A. Wallace, of the Hopkins
vile Lumber Co., was going along
Bryan street, Thursday night, near
South Clay, he saw man lying in
some weeds. He notified the police
who took him to headquarters as
loiterer. The stranger gave the
name of John Hoffman, and claimed
to be a foundryman, working his
way South from Louisville. He is
of German descent.
Hoffman carried a coffee sack and
an old bride. He explained by say
ing that he thought he would buy
him a cheap horse if he found one.
When locked up he had a purse in
his pocket containing two S. gold
pieces, zoe in silver, 6 cents in pen
MES and some Canadian coins worth
about 40 cents. When told that his
bond would probably be 500 he
said he had the money and would
like to fix it at once and be released.
A further examination disclosed a
roll of S252 in his sock, making the
amount of money on his person
S263. rs. In his purse was found a
trade check of % cents given by ].

protection of laws passed for the
reformation of young girls.
