"IN 00D PUCHT Case of University Student Puzzles the Physicians Who Are jn Attendance HIP CRUSHED BY FALL Accident to Youth in Rink Has Result That Now Oc- cupies the Medical Menl BERKELEY, Nov. 2..—As the result of & bump. sustained while roller skating, C. L. Houchins, a sophomore at the uni- versity, lies at the Roosevelt Hospital on Dwight Way, while physicians endeavor in vain to diagnose the exact character of his injuries. Houchins was thrown to the floor in the skating rink last Saturday night, landing on his hip with a crash that shook the floor, and brought all the merry making to a sudden stop. He lay rigid and un- conscious and was promptly ordered re- moved to the hospital by Dr. Snook. Delirium and convulsions have - been symptoms of the strange case, accom- | panied by swollen bgnes and torn cords. An operation may be necessary, but Dr. Snook said to-day that until the case had been more thoroughly studfed no decision regarding the operation would be made. Apparently the hip bone was so bruised by the impact with the floor that its nor- mal state may never be regained. Uni- versity men sat at Houchins' bedside last night while he writhed in delirium, and until he 1is completely recovered his chums, who reside with him at 2430 Ban- croft Way, are preparing to supplement the regular hospital care with their own personal attentions. Houchins is from Colusa. MINING MAN BEATEN BY YOUNG GALLANTS G. W. Slater Causes Ar- rest of His As- sailants. OAKLAND, Nov. —W. W. Foote Jr., son of the late W. W. Foote, and Charles McDonald, son of an East Oak- land capitalist, were arrested to-night at the instance of G. W. Slater, a min- ing broker, who was soundly beaten by the pair. Foote and McDonald declare they battered Slater because he insulted two women. with whom they had been walking. The fracas occurred on | Broadway, near Ninth street. Foote as- serted that the young women, whose identity he would not disclose, had walked ahead of himself and McDon- old just before Slater approached the As they noticed Slater address the ladies Foote and McDonald jumped at him and knocked Slater down. The | women’s champions were busily en- gaged when Policeman Brown called time. Slater scrambled to his feet and caused-his assailants’ arrest on bat- tery charges. To the police he denied having in- sulted the wemen, Foote and McDon- ald were released on their own recog- nizance. To ayoid notoriety they tried to hide their identity under false names. Both men assert that when they upbraided Slater for his actions toward the young women he struck at the men with an umbrella, whereupon the | battle opened. SAYS IMPURE CANDY CAUSED SON’S DEATH I'rank Bohni Declares His Child Secured the Deadly Sweets From Peddler. OAKLAND, Novy. 2.—An autopsy per- formed by Dr. L. L. Riggin thjs morning on the body of five-year-old itz Bohni, the son of Frank Bohni of 1407 Broadway, who died yesterday afternoon after an ill- ness of less than twenty-four hours, con- firmed the diagnosis of the physiclan that death was caused by ptomaine poisoning. It was at first belleved that the poison was contained in some cold fish which was eaten by the child on the afternoon that he was taken sick, but to-day the boy's father declared that he was sure his child had been poisoned by some candy sold by a peddler who had been vending his wares in the neighborhood on the day the child became ill. On account of the almbst complete as- similation of the contents of the child’s stomach it was impossible to determine just what had contained the ptomaine. If the peddler can be located he will -be held pending an investigation of the case. HOUSE SLIPS DOWN ON WORKMAN’S BACK Crushes His Spinal Column and Causes Injuries Be- lieved Fatal.
