MOtorman Whalen Fears the Jinx
Is Putting The "KibOsh"
On His Coach.

For the second time in the past
week, fire broke out last night in No
torman Pa Whalen's car while it was
waiting on the switch at the corner
of William street and West End
boulevard, and the combined efforts
of Mr.. Whalen and Gus Buerkle were
required to prevent the complete de-
struction of the car.
The flames were first seen in the
same section of the car in which they
appeared several nights before, and
Motorman Whalen is not yet fully de-
cided as to whether the fire broke out
afresh after smouldering for three OF
four days, or was the second confia-
grafton.
The frame work surrounding the
stove caught fire and when first dis
covered, the flames were rising to the
2eiling and it looked as though the
car would be destroyed. When the
blaze was at its highest, Mr.. Buerkle
came uD with his car, which he left
standing on the track at a safe dis
lance while he ran to the assistance
of Mr.. Whalen.
All of the burning boards were torn
loose and thrown out Of the car win
down. after which the Goals were
drawn from the stove and all danger
removed.
Mr.. Whalen is certain that the jinx
is on his trail. He threatens to put
his stove in a refrigerator if it doesn't
behave.

1t is the only spring of fresh water

consent French and Bavarians drew
water at different hours without mo-
testing one another. Gradually they
became more friendly, chose the same
hours, exchanged the time of day and
offered one another tobacco. They
even took coffee together sometimes.
All the while the Germans regularl,

French regularly reconstructed day

fastenings to prevent the swinging

The matter of changing the plumb
ing system now in use at the Broad

committee which is composed of
Messrs. Thilenius, Nussbaum and
Walker, was instructed to investigate
the remedies offered by the different
plumbers, and to receive bids for max

overcome is the automatic flushing ar

BOY, COASTING ON SLED.
SLIDES INTO IRON POST
Oran Sees LIP Is Cut and Impact
Renders Him Unconscious.

Oran See, a seven-year-old boy,
while coasting down Lorimier School
Hill yesterday morning, lost control
Of his sled and collided with an iron
post that stands at the edge of the
street.
He was travelling at a rapid rate,
and when he came in contact with the
post his lin was split and he received
an ugly confusion over his left eye
He struck with such force that ne was
rendered unconscious by the impact,
and remained in that condition for
several minutes after he had been car
ried into the school building to await
the arrival of a physician.
When the surgeon examined the in
juries he found it necessary 70 take a
number of stitches in sewing up the
damaged lip. And while he was not
able to determine the extent of
jury to the forehead, he entertained
some fear that the skull had been
fractured.
The parents of the injured lad, who
live near the old fair grounds, were
advised of the accident, and soon af-
ier the doctor had finished his treat
ment, the father appeared at the
school and took his son away withhim.
Physicians stated last night that the
injuries were not serious.
