X-Ray Examination Shows That th» Lower Part of Humerus Was Broken in Tragedy. it Frank Hill proved to .have a much verse injury than at first seemed probable after the tragedy at /the stock yards that cost the lives of William Washburn and Moble Peacock.

The arm has been extremely sore and it will he necessary for him to carry it in a sling for some time. Mr. Hill's escape from death is almost miraculous. The funeral of William Wash burr was held this Friday morning at the M. E. church and that of Noble Peacock will be held at the residence on River street Saturday morning in charge of Rev. Winn. Although Noble Peacock had only been employed by Mr. Washburn for day he and his mother had been neighbors of Mr. Washburn and family for a number of years and Mrs. Washburn performed an act of prac■.ical Christianity and charity that will meet the. praise of all the people of the community. On f Wednesday she railed to =■ Noble’s ipother and authorized ‘hern to buy for his burial thing that was needed at the undertaking establishment and that, she would settle all the funeral and burial expenses. This will relieve the sorely afflicted mother of all the expense.
