Charles Peringer, son of John
Peringer of Adams, was badly hurt
through having a horse fall with him
on Main street last evening and now
lies in a critical condition at Sa- An
thongs hospital. His skull was frac-
tured by the fall to the pavement
and he has never regained conscious
ness since. That he cannot live Is
declared by DR.. C. ]. Smith. the at
tending physician.
About O'Clock last evening young
Peringer was riding up Main street
on a saddle pony, which was pacing
by the Savings bank corner when the
accident occurred. While going at a
fast clip his horse slipped on the
pavement, throwing the boy Violent
ly to the pavement and catching him
between the animal and the street as
he fell. Rystanders at once rushed
to the scene and the boy was picked
up. He was unconscious and bleed
ing from the mouth and nose. He
was carried upstairs to the office of

attended ty Drs. Henderson and Rest.

and has had charge of the case. The
boy was removed to the hospital dur
ing the evening.

tuTed at the base.

ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Peringer. He

KING LEOPOLD is 72 YEARS OLD.
Death on Short Notice Would Not Sur
prise Anyone.

Brussels, April 9.-King Leopold,
who is spending the spring in the Ri
viera, is 70 years old today. Despite
the official statements recently issued
regarding his majesty's health, it is
learned from reliable source that the
king is undoubtedly in bad state and
his death at any time would cause lit
tie surprise. 1t is understood that his
majesty fully realizes his precarious
condition and during the past year has
worked increasingly to place his af-
fairs, both official and personal, in
shape for his successor on the throne.
Being now at variance with all his
daughters, IL is believed that the bulk
of King eLopold's vast private for
tune will descend to Prince Albert Of
Flanders, who is the heir to the throne,
after adequate provision has been
made for those to whom the king has
been closely attached in late years.
