SHE MISSED A WEEK
Mrs. {. H. Miller Can Re-
member Nothing Now
OF THE PARK RUNAWAY
Recites Her Experience of the
Terrible Accident.

Mrs E H Miller, who was so seriously
injured in the park runaway of several
weeks ago, was out driving last evening.
She has almost entirely recovered from
the injuries received on that night and
within a very short time will have no
scars Of the affair.
At the present time there is a scar on
the right side Of her face, but this will
soon be healed so that it will not be
noticed. One arm is still bruised from
the effects Of the terrible fall and it will
Ia some time before the soreness is en-
tirely gone from it.
The pains in her head, the result Of the
fracture Of the base of the skull, have
entirely disappeared and Mrs. Miller
seems to experience no disagreeable re-
suits from the injury.
One peculiar thing about the accident Is
that Mrs. Miller remembers nothing at
ell about it. She has been very anxious
for some one to tell her the details Of
the affair and is as astonished when
told of some of the things did by her
while the horse fas running. From the
description Of the affair, she thinks that
she must have tainted before the crash
came and did not realize that there was
an accident.
Mrs Miller says that she does not re-
member anything at al about being in
the park. She does remember of having
ridden around the city in the evening and
stopping at Tanners book store TO Sc
cure a magazine. After that they drove
UP to the FulIington home and this is
the last that she remembers Of the drive.
For a week since the accident when she
was suffering from the injuries received
that night, Mrs. Miller does not remem-
Der what happened and it was not until
the Sunday following the affair that she
became conscious Of what was going on.
From that time on she continued to i'm
prove. but does not remember what
transpired during that week
A reporter for the Eagle called at the
Chandler home last evening and talked
to Mrs. Miller about her accident. Mrs.
Miller said:
II do not remember of there being an
accident, and as far as telling anything
about It, have been trying to find some
one viii can tell me all about it. I do
not even remember of being in the park.
although they tell me that the runaway
occurred after we entered the central
part Of the park. / distinctly remember
about our driving abouttown in the even
ing. We stopped at Tanners book store
to get a magazine and after riding
around short time. called at Mr. Full
lington's. After that time I do not have
the slightest idea of what we did
What was the first sensation that
you had when you became conscious?"
well, knew that 1 was in my own
room, but it seemed TO me that it was
in hotel. When they told me that peo-
pie were down on the porch asking
about my condition, 1 always imagined
that the porch was long and narrow and
1t was some time before I could realize
that it was really my home. After 1 be-
came conscious, it seemed a long time
before they would let me up, and when
the folks tell me of the strange things
did during that long week, it seems
very peculiar.
From what they say I must be one
week behind the times but I think that
I will eventually remember something
about the accident. The people around
here tell me that it will all come TO me
at once and that it will be a terrible
thing. I feel perfectly well, however,
and hardly realize that I have ever been
in runaway.
THE most painful injury which I had
was the one TO my head. For time
the pain was very severe, but for the
last two days there has been no pain of
any kind"
Miss Grace Gilbert, who was also in the
runaway is much improved, and in a
short time will be strong enough to be
out. She is still very nervous and does
not care much about talking of the acct
dent.
The wounds on the neck and face are
nearly healed up and within a short time
will not be noticeable. There may be a
slight scar just under the chin, but the
physicians have hopes that it can, besre-
duced.
Miss Gilbert talks Of the accident and Is
much interested in hearing the story
from those who saw it
