Jack Larsh Again Victim Of Accident—Arm Broken.
Jack, the 8-year-old son of Joe Larsh, is again the victim of an accident This one occurred Sundaymorning and resulted in a broken arm. Jack and several of his little friends were just starting home from the Christian church where they attended Sunday school, and went across the street to explore the mysteries of the new high school building, which 1s nearing completion. His companions were Raymond McKay, Leonard Swartzell, Billie Grow and Freddie Price. After going through the building they started a game of tag. Jack had climbed a ladder an<j was descending when he missed a fast hold on one of the rounds, causing him to fall. He alighted on his left elbow, and one bone was fractured right in the joint His companions thought that his arm was unjointed and they worked with it a short while, finally succeeding in getting it back in position, which made it more difficul for the attending physician to learn the extent of the injury. Jack was takeh to a physician’s office, where his arm was put in plaster casts. Jack Is a gritty little fellow and looks upon the accident as a matter of course. In fact, accidents have been shorn of their novelty for Jack, as he has experienced two others of a rather serious nature. One happened about two years ago, when his collar bone was broken. He was playing whip-cracker at the school house and was hurled on the sidewalk. A few months later his Jaw bone was broken and his skull cracked when he was run over by an automobile.
