d tracing a steel key from a casting
with the aid Of steam hammer He
was told to step back from his work
/ by other workmen. and as ne moved
away from the anvil. the key flew
from the socket. hitting the man in
the stomach with terrific force.
At the time II was not thought he
was hurt. and Inquiries OF his fellow
workmen were answered by him say
| ing that he felt alright. Later he left
the shop and went to the business
place Of Harry Bachman's where he
complained OF not feeling well
DIT. Randolph Herschy was called.
and saw that the man was In really
dangerous condition and removed him
10 the hospital at $3.50 o'clock In the

O'Clock died. DIS. J. a. Campbell.
Charles Keesor. J. A. Thornton and
the Ohio Valley General Hospital
house physician held an autopsy over
the remains. They discovered that
the spleen had been cut IN three
pieces. and rendered their decision a.
death due to a ruptured spleen caused
| by some strong external force"
Coroner Mitchell was called into the
case. and he was informed that the
I Nesbitt people denied that there had
been a man hurt there This lead to
considerable excitement. and a rumor
was Immediately started that the man
had been killed by some foul means.
Lieutenant Birch detailed Detectives
I Cleary and Walker on the case and
they soon found that tho hospital had
been talking to the wrong Nesbitt
firm. and which was the cause OF the
rumOr. No grounds could be found
upon which 20 base a foul play theory.

The race is nearly run, the time is
drawing near. and the omega OF the
ten-day Ohio Valley General Hospital
campaign will be completed tonight.
in an EFFORT TO raise $3.50. 900 for the
maintenance OF this worthy insltu-
ton. that has wrought so much good
20 this community: where innumer-
able lives have been saved and where
the friendless, homeless and money
less sufferers have rested in the hours
OF illness under its protecting wing
OF brotherly love.
Perhaps never in tn ehistoTy OF
Wheeling has the people had a aues-
ton put up to them so strongly and
appealingly, and which means so
much to every one as this: Shall The
Ohio Valley General Hospital be
closed. or shall 1t raise its head in
pride and continue as In the yetAs
gone by? The question can only be
answered with dollars and cents. In
the words of the street you'll have
to come across quickly" II you want
the institution saved.
This IL one OF the things that can
not be put OF until next week-not
even until tomorrow. ic's what are
you going to do about Il today? This
IL the last day. DO you hear the
small still voice calling TO you 20
donate; do you not hear OF the money
less and frienGiass patients In the I'm.
stitution calling to you to help keep
the institution going. that they may
continue to be treated and enjoy once
more the god-given endowed healtl.
What's the answer?
Cut In Half.
IL was the original Intention OF 'he
campaign committee TO solicit a hall
OF a million dollars for the hospital
maintenance. II was soon seen thai
80 was practically impossible to raise
this amount In ten days. so IL was cut
in two. the minimum being made
