KEG BREAKS FALL:

MLLBREAKS KEG Fritz Schultz, a South Chicago Workman, Demolishes Nail Receptacle. Fritz Schultz, a South Chicago workman, In a fall of thirty-five feet which he experienced this morning, came into such violent contact with a keg of nails which intercepted his swift descent, that the keg was demolished and the contents strewn all over the vessel from whose deck Schultz fell. Schultz was uninjured save for a few bruises. Although a keg of nails is not exactly the thing a man would choose to break a fall, Fritz is congratulating himself that it was his fall that the keg broke and not his bones. A. Xorstrom, a fellow workman, shared in Schultz's accident, both men falling simultaneously. Norstrom, a moment after he landed, picked himself up and valked home, while Schultz was taken to the South Chicago hospital to have his bruises dressed. Both men were employed by the Chicago Ship Building company whose yards are at 101st street and the river. They were working on the Bpar deck of a boat when one of them lost his footing on account of the slippery condition of the snow-covered deck. As he fell, he carried his companion along with him. The pair landed on the top of a tank which is along the bottom of the boat, an apartment for protecting the hull. The boat In which the accident occurred is unnamed as jet.

"Thero's another rn who stabbed a fellow. His name Is also Joseph Kaspar, That fellow's not me." "What's in a name?" demanded the reporter. S'long's you're not pinched and aren't in jail. What do you care?" "That ain't it. Since the piece about the other fellow by the same name as mine who looks like me, got Into the papers, my life has been a burden. People I meet on the streets, If they don't cross over to get away from me, and speak to me at all, look sympathetic and say they're glad to see me out again and ask who is on my bond." "Yes?" "I want you to say in your paper that it was a different Kasper that got pinched. Two guys that I know have been in looking for -fly job." "You're on," interrupted the sympathetic reporter. "When they lay for your Job it's bad business. I'll print the piece." ON THE TROUBLE WAGON. A. F. Knotts, of Hammond, surely has his troubles these days.
