ATTENDANCE is CUT DOWN

ATTENDANCE is CUT DOWN
The cold gripped the South Side
severely in many places in the last
twenty-four hours. Night school at
the high school was dismissed last
evening and there was no school ses-
sion at the South Field school on
West L street, on account of furnace
trouble. The stopper on one of the
leading mains from the high school
furnace burst just before the after
noon session was completed and the
heating plant was put out OF order,
Engineer Hummel took charge of
the situation and ordered fire under
one of the boilers put out. Plumbers
worked late last evening fixing the
leak, while the engineer remained in
the school building through the night.
| At the Field school the furnace, new
| one recently installed, was repaired
after an all-day visit by furnace
workers. ,-.
Attendance at most OF the public
schools was far less than normal.
Distant schools, such as the Highland,
West Side and the Field, reported
less than half of the students attend
ing. The night school attendance
Wednesday was three-fourths UPS to
the total registration.
Auto Victims Recover.
The four victims of accidents in au-
tomobie smashups Wednesday,, will
all recover. Chester Dean, young
truck driver, who was hurled thirty
| feet from the top of the West Q
street viaduct at Forty-hfth street, and
buried beneath the debris OF the ma
chine, was able to go home unaided
| Thursday morning. 1t was first re-
ported that his left leg was broken,
but this was only bruised. His escape
from instant death is remarkable as
the truck was completely demolished.
Henry Wredi, young stockman at
the yards, will recover according to
announcement OF his physician, DR..
Shanahan. He sustained only severe
cuts about. the upper chest and arms.
His two partners in the car, William
Kline and c. Collins, Avery, will also
recover. They were but slightly in
jured. All three are still at the South
Omaha hospital.
