SPEEDY JIMMY LOSES
EYEBROW, ALSO A HEEL
Descends Elevator Shaft in Personally
Conducted Style and Sees "No
Use of Bovvah"
The left eyebrow of seventeen-year-old
James Morton Is missing. But this Is all
he lost today In a fall or four storiel
N through the elevator Bhaft at the Harrison
Building, 1001 Filbert street.
James Is an Industrious negro. He has
Initiative and speed. He needed a b'room
which was on the first floor and he wanted
It quickly. He stepped where the elevator
usually Is, but It wasn't, and so James went
down anyhow. In fact, he even saved time
by using his own system.
It seems that his equilibrium got dis
arranged In the sudden descent, and when
he struck the ground his head was where
his feet should liavo been. The contact
I could not be denied, but, as James dis
approved of this manner in falling, he put
his hands out, which somewhat cushioned
his fall.
James was brushing his clothes off and
was about to return to work when he no.
tlced a crowd around. It was suggested
that' he step over to the Jefferson Hospital
and get the "once over" on general prin
ciples. "Ah don' see wha dere should be all
dig trubbll 'bout it." said James, "I jlss
fell, didn' I, and didn' bovvah enybodah."
But he went to the hospital for the
sake of peace.
In addition to the lacerated brow It was
found that the third finger of tho left liana
was scratched arid the heel of a shoe was
missing.
