wishes in the matter are not known
by his colleagues. Sharp is in Elyria

Shannon Is Better

Numerous reports have been cur
rent to the effect that Earl Shannon,
the small boy who was run over by
wagon on South Mulberry street
shortly before noon Tuesday, died
during Tuesday night. On the con-
trary, he spent very good night and
appeared to be considerably improved
Wednesday morning. Several of his
ribs are broken but the probability
of serious internal injuries is small.
Unless some unexpected relapse sets
in, he will recover.
