Charley Steltzer, the 13 year old son of Sheriff Steltzer, seems to be having more than his portion of hard luck lately.

Only recently he had sufficiently recovered from the effects of an accidental gun shot wound as to be able to start to school again, when, on last Friday, while coasting on north Fifth avenue, he had the misfortune to collide with a post with sufficient force to fracture his jaw bone. Although the accident is a very unfortunate and painful one, it is hoped the lad will soon be all right again. County Supt.
