When a little fellow he had the misfortune to break his arm and later one of his legs and now his leg has been again broken. On Sunday morning while coastlng near his father’s residence on St Mary’s avenue, his sled run against a snag and the force of the collislon was sufficient to break his leg. His leg was broken in the same way before. He is under the care of a skill- ful physician and his many little friends, with whom he is a general favorite hope soon to see him among them again, o — —Three new traveling passenger agents are announced by Mr, Lowell, of the C, B, & Q.
