ton recently, is recovering from her
fall as well as can be expected. Mrs.
Smithers was on her way to spend the
day with Mrs. Tally Smith, and ill
getting off the Darby car the step gave
way and threw her with enough force to
the ground to sprain her wrist. At
first it was thought she sustained some
broken bones, fortunately this did not
take place. She was brought home the
evening of the same day. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Smithers has a good
case in which to bring action for dam
ages, but whether this will be done,
has not been announced.
