"TIME brings all things."

Legless

In Pittsburgh, Pa., Ralph Okane and Fred Keith, legless peddlers on wheeled carriers, lunged at each other ferociously in a street fight. A crowd gathered, watched them swing their fists, wield sticks, bite each other.

Bed

In Denver, Mr. & Mrs. Warren E. McLean lay on their folding bed listening to a radio program. The bed snapped shut, killed Warren E. McLean.

Installment

In Chicago, Mrs. John Los indignantly exhibited in court a contract signed by her husband and a friend: ''Mr. John Los is agreeable to selling his wife, Anna, to Mr. Steve Labinovich for $100. Paid, $25."

Trap

At New Hope, Pa., Dr. Ralcy Husted Bell was killed by a spring gun he had attached to a closet door to trap burglars.

Change

At Haven, Kan., Oscar Fishburn paid a bushel of wheat for admission to a baseball game, received half a bushel of oats in change.

Shaver

At Gilgad, near Ballymena, Ireland, William Surgenor was fined for refusing to send his ten-year-old son to school. He said that the boy had to be shaved four times a week, that schoolmates annoyed him by joking about his beard.

Well

At Gadsden, Ala., three members of a Negro baseball team, were killed when the truck in which they were riding hit a porch, turned over, spilled them into a well.

Reunion

In the Pennsylvania Station, New York City, Sophie Skrupska, a Polish immigrant, sought directions for traveling west. To act as interpreter, a compatriot was summoned from a track repair gang, proved to be the brother of Sophie Skrupska.

Family

Near Dozier, Ala., lived a family of three, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Mitchell and their son, Love. In one day, the father died of a paralytic stroke, the son was struck by lightning and killed, the mother, shocked by the double tragedy, collapsed and died.

Alarm

At Fort Smith, Ark., two fire companies, summoned to extinguish an early morning blaze, were unable to find it. When the sun rose, the appearance of flame at the northern end of town vanished; firemen went home. A local meteorologist explained it as "the reflection of the rising sun on rain clouds and rain."
