Near 1000 in High School.-Yester-
day was the day when the boys and
girls gathered their school books to-
gether and made the first pilgrimage
TO school after the long summer vaca
ton. The grammar schools show evil
dences of a large enrolment, while
that at the high school will doubtless
break all the records. The enrolment
last year passed 500 before the close
OF the term, and while it will open
with lesser number, there is no
doubt of the roster, before the term
closes. showing steady climb toward

struck yesterday by the sweep of the
horse power which was being used in

ling boiler along Perry street in front
of the Burlington freight Office. Both
of Clingberg's legs were broken below
the knee. In some way unknown to
those present when the accident oc
Cured, the double tree became de-
tached from the sweep. The tension
on the chain with which the boiler
was being drawn was terrific and
when the horses were suddenly re
leased the sweep came back with ter
rible force striking Clingberg. who
was walking behind it, just below the
knee. Both legs were mangled by the

A strange feature of the accident is
the fact that this is the fourth time in
Is years that Clingberg has been in

ployed by Mr.. Haley, the house mover
for Is years and three times before
the sweep of the horse power has
broken loose and struck him. On the
other three occasions only one leg was
broken.
