JOHN ON FRIDAY THE 13TH.

FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH HAS SURE GOT JOHN’S GOAT.

    Fort Lupton, Col., June 13.—John Leepsinger swears there is a Friday the 13th hoodoo and that said hoodoo has a large family of small hoodoos. Here’s what happened to John:
    He cut himself while shaving before breakfast. Used oil to start the kitchen fire and he is now minus his eyebrows. A cup of hot coffee was spilled down his neck while he ate breakfast. He slashed his finger while repairing a harness, tied a rag on it, filled the family auto tanks with gasoline, lighted pipe and burned the finger. A poisonous bug bit him on the ear. A horse-weight dropped on his toe. He fell on a wet board and sprained his wrist. Horse drawing buggy bolted, threw him out and dislocated his shoulder. Got a splinter of metal in his eye in the blacksmith shop and will stay in bed until he is well again.
