dent occurred when Peter Eyler, JAM,
tor Of the grade school building, was
struck in the face by a bullet which
was in some waste paper which ne
threw into the furnace. When the bull.
let reached the fire it exploded, COM
ing out through the open furnace door
with terrific force. 1t struck Eyler on
the side of the nose, coming OUT
through his nostril. Had the bullet

resting easily, and should blood poison
ing be averted the injury will not
prove serious.

MISFORTUNE CURES ANOTHER
Irene Gown Of Waterloo Has Her
Nose Broken and Set Straight
on Face

~
Waterloo. April 5.-That one mis-
fortune may cure the ill effects of an
other is exhibited in the case OF Miss
Irene Gown, a handsome Waterloo
girl, who has just learned that, in adj
dition to the more serious injury to
her right arm in the Rock Island
wreck near Marshalltown, she had her
nose broken. Ordinarily a broken
nose is not considered bit Of good
fortune, but in Miss GOWNS case she
regards it as such, for her nose had
been broken before and was signify
crooked. When the physician reduced
the second fracture the nose was
straightened and the young lady is
now quite happy. The muscles were
torn from her right arm and the IN
Jury was so painful that she was not
aware of the minor injury to her nose
until recently.
