II is Believed that Des Moines Youth
Holds Record for Polk coun.
~ in Number Of His
injuries. s
MANY BONES BRoKEN
Twelve Times he has Suffered Frac.
lures and He Has Seven scars
From Various Cuts and
Burns.

Having had bones broken twelve
times and having seven scars from
cuts and burns received in his 10
years Of life is the record OF misfor-
tunes made by Gail Chandler, son Of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chandler. who
reside five miles north of Des
Moines.
In spite Of the many injuries which
he has received the boy is in perfect
health. His spirit of mischief and
daring have been mainly the cause Of
his mishaps. Yesterday he was
brought into the office Of an East
Des Moines physician with broken
collar bone, received while trying to
place toy windmill on the top OF a
woodshed at his home.
One scar was caused by a fall from
q high chair when but a child. His
teeth struck a rocking chair, the
teeth cutting through the lip. Later
he was bitten on the forehead lust
above the eye by ecg. While re-
covering that injury he fell from the
bed and broke his collar bone.
In a chase after a butterfly when
five years old he stepped into hole
in the ground falling and breaking a
bone in his leg just above the ankle.
When six years old he conceived the
idea Of stopping a lawn mower by
sticking his fingers in the revolving
knife. The result was long cash in
the back of his hand. When eight
years of age he attempted to chop
wood with toy axe his father had
given him for Christmas present
and as result nearly severed the
toes on his right foot. A short time
ago he let slip knife with which he
was whiting and cut long cash in
his left hand.
When nine years old he attempted
to break yearling calf to ride and
was thrown over its head alighting
on his right side breaking the should.
er bone and the bone Of his right
arm Just above the elbow, short.
" after recovering from these
injuries he fell from tree break.
ing his wrist.
Batting a horse with board
brought him more misfortune the
same year. The horse resenting the
blows kicked him in the ribs. break
ing four of them. A year ago a colt
which he was breaking to drive, ran
away with him. He was thrown out
Of the cart sustaining broken collar
bone and broken rib.
The year he was eleven years of
age proved a "hoodoo" year for Gail.
His clothes caught fire from the 9x-
plosion OF a gasoline stove and he
was seriously burned about the face
and hands. A short time after, the
turpentine which was on a bandage
a-ound his finger, caught fire while
ne was playing with matches, and
the finger was severely burned before
the bandage could be removed.
Besides these injuries his hands
are Scared with small cuts he has
received while trying various
stunts. The injury of yesterday
gives him record which is I'M
equalled by any boy OF his years in
the country. it is claimed

Case a RaffIina One.

CREsToN, Aug. County Attor-
ney Perry Armitage was brought
home from Denver, Colo, a week ago
in an unconscious condition. He was
found at the foot of precipice,
where he had been seen short time
before on a burro. No one saw the
accident and as he is still uncon-
scious, no one knows the cause of his
condition. He is violent at times, re-
quiring force to control him. He may
have been the victim of foul play.
The case is battling to the physi-
clans.

swedenbora's Versatility.

Perhaps even the deyout Swedenbor.
gian is not aware of the versatility Of
his heTo and that he added to mysti-
cism an all-round scientific equipment.
When Charles XII, for instance, was
in difficulty as to the transport for a
siege in the dead of winter 1t was
Swedenborg who constructed 16-mile-
long canal through mountains and
over valleys for the conveyance OF
the necessary implements of war; 1t
was he who gave to Sweden a better
method of fixing the value of money:
1t was he who, as assessor Of mines
studied the smelling works Of Europe
and put his countrymen in the way
of eclipsing their methods.
