SERIOUS FALL Saturday morn
ing last as Mr.. ID. jenkins, the Jew
eler, went to enter the rear apart
ment from that of the front, at his
place of business, he met with an
accident, by falling into the cellar,
that left him in "a critical condition
for some time. In the rear room
was M. Nye, sewing machine agent,
who makes that place headquarters,
engaged in Strengthening things.
Immediately in front of the door
between the two apartments IS a
hatchway, in the rear room. This
was uncovered for the purpose Of
dumping some traps into the cellar,
but Mr.. jenkins did not know Of its
being open, and rs he with a quick
movement, as is his manner, opened
the door to go into the back room,
he stepped or fell into the cellar, a
distance Of from eight to ten feet.
The fall produced a severe shock
and left him unconscious for a con
siderable time. Medical aid and
other assistance were at hand inn
mediately, and Mr.. Jenkins taken
home, from whence he has not been
able to come since. He is, however,
gradually improving, and will likely
be able to get to his place Of bust
ness in a few days. No bones were
broken, but the shock and internal
shaking up were severe and weaken
ing. 1t was very unfortunate oc-
currance, still there is a host of
friends who are glad that he es-
capped as well as he did,
