Jabs Hatpin Into Mans Leo.

Dallas, Tex-Miss Susan Mel be-
came so excited while Watching base
ball game the other day she jabbed a
hatpin through the thigh of Walter
Hutchinson, with whom she had gone
to the game.
The young woman had removed her
hat and had clinched the pin in her
hand When home run was made
she jabbed it downward.
The pin was driven with such force
that it passed entirely through the
side of the young mans leg and was
forced into the seat more than an inch.
Efforts to remove it caused Hutchin-
son so much pain that he was forced
to wait more than an hour until
some one could be brought to sever
the pin between his leg and the board.
A doctor then removed the pin from
his leg. No serious consequences are
anticipated.
Hutchinson, who is member of the
council. says he will introduce an or
dinance which will forbid the attend
