peculiar1 accident which happened to him
last summer. The lad was attempting to
get a bureau drawer cpm to replace a
small bras' nail, which he was holding In
hit mouth aa he opened the drawer. It
quits an effort und In the attempt ths
lad swallowed the nail end a few days
thereafter became quite 111. Medical aid
which was summoned failed to locate the
nail and even the tse of the X-ray proved
of no avail. A couple of months ago in
a fit of Coughing the lad threw up ths
nail In a badly rusted condition and It Is
presumed It must have lodged In the
bronchial tubes. The removal of the for
eign substance seemed to bring little relief
to the patient nnd he continued to fall
steadily until this werk. when he grew
rapidly worse and died. Funeral services
were held this afternoon nnd Interment
was at the Bohemian cemetery.

Stockholders Withdraw Consent for
Male to the Hell C ompany.
FREMONT, Neb., Feb. 4 (Special.
There Is but little probability that the
Bell Telephone Company will succeed In
absorbing the Fremont company, although
some of the organiicrs of the latter com
pany lire trying to bring about the merger.
Some of the stockholders who had con
sented to the combination have withdrawn
their consent and are satisfied to let mat
ters remain as they are. If the company
sells out at uil it will undoubtedly be to
the Independent company uf Lincoln, so
that Fremont will still be a station on the
Independent lines. '
