seriously injured at night in a most
peculiar way. He attempted the most
unusual steep1e jack performance. The
morbid public must know about it,
whether the facts were correct or not.
Now this is all very good from so very
alert and efficient correspondent as
yours isA but the story should have at
least a practical base and one written
upon facts Accuracy should be the
boast of any man who calls himself a
