BAD ACCIDENT AT WYATT.
MRS. Heldreth in spasm Falls Against
a Crate and is Burned.

Mrs. ]. S. Heldreth, Of Wyatt, came
very near losing her life a few days
ago. Her husband went to the barn
about nine O'Clock in the evening,
leaving her sitting by the fire, the
children in bed asleep, one a babe, the
other a boy Of six or seven years. Mrs.
Heidreth was seized with a fit and fell
against the CRATE in which there was
a hot fire, breaking her nose. The
noise awakened the boy who ran to
her screaming, which was heard by
Mr.. Heldreth, who thought he knew
what was wrong, and running with all
his might found bis wife with her
head under the CRATE, her hair and
clothing all ablaze, and the little boy
pulling with all his might but could
not rescue her. One more minute
would certainly have been fatal, and
had 1t not been for the boys coat
which either hung on the back of the
rocker and fell on her head or was
thrown over her head by the boy, she
surely could not have survived. Dr.
Rinehart was summoned in great
haste and while she was badly bruised
and burned she is getting along very
we'll and is going about the house
since the accident. Both OF the chill.
dren have scarlet fever but are getting
along nicely.

It seems that the examining board

tion caused by long years of hard ser
vice in the navy 1t is thought that his
professional disqualification is largely
due TO his physical condition.
The board based its decision that he
