MASEK
BREAKS Arm AT
SKATING RINK
Bones Snapped as Man, Fall
ing, Grabbed Her Wrist
Instead of Railing.
GIRL WAS STANDING
OUTSIDE RINK FLOOR
Stranger, Unidentified, Got to
Feet and Left Scene of
Accident.

Nine-year-old Evalyn Masek, the
daughter of Mrs. Mollie Masek, yes
terday afternoon had both bones in
her right forearm broken near the
wrist when an unidentified man on
roller skates at the rink at Bellevue
and Middle streets, seized her arm for
support while he was in the act of
falling to the floor.
The vice-like grip with which he
grabbed the child's arm, and the quick
jerk he gave as he fell to the floor
snapped the bones instantly.
The Masek girl had gone to the
roller skating rink in the afternoon
with several small companions. They
were accompanied there by Mrs. Anna
Stehr. After they had donned the
skates and were starting out on the
floor of the rink, Mrs. Stehr left to go
to her home at 332 North Middle
street, where the Masek child and her
mother reside.
The girl skated from the floor of
the rink back outside the pale of the
railing around the skating floor. She
was standing near the railing watch
ing the others skate, when the man
bore swiftly down toward her position
at the railing.
He had lost his balance and was
falling to the floor. He reached out
a hand with which to seize the railing
for protection and support. He was
travelling at a swift speed on the
skates. Instead of Selling the railing
he grabbed the girls forearm as she
stood beside the railing. He continued
to fall and his frantic endeavors to
save himself caused him to jerk on the
girls arm. The bones could not stand
the strain and broke.
The girl fell in a heap to the floor
She was picked up by-standers and
carried to u nearby drug store, where
q physician was summoned and the
bone was set.
At first it was thought that the
child's arm was broken when the
mans body fell against it across the
railing. However, a woman who was
standing beside the girl at the time
Of the accident, told the child's rela-
tives that the man seized the arm as
he fell.
After the fall the man Immediately
got to his feet and departed. Mrs.
Masek, the child's mother, is sister
of c. w. Stehr and Rudi Stehr. She
is employed as saleslady at the c. w.
Stehr Mercantile Co. in Haarig.
Last night it was discovered, after
the child's arm had been set and ban
daged, that both the doctor and the
relatives of the girl had neglected to
remove a ring on one Of the fingers
CT the right hand. She was taken
back to the physicians office, where
the bandages We're removed and the
ring taken off.
