Mrs. Priddy Threw Herself from
Third Story, Failing on
Pavement Below.
THREATENED TO END LIFE
Had Not Been at Memorial More
Than Ten Minutes-Married
Few Months Ago.

Within ten minutes after she had
been admitted to Memorial Hospital,
and before she had been placed in her
cot. Mrs. Robert Priddy, of No. Sos
West Cary Street. leaped from. the
third story window yesterday afternoon
and fell an apparently lifeless heap IN
the space fronting on Broad Street be-
low. Mr.. r. L. Peters, president of the
Common Council, who was just about
I to enter the building to arrange about
some painting, saw the woman as she
crashed down, and hurried to her as
sistance. Mrs. Priddy was then uncon-
scious. and he carried her into the
hospital where she was found to have
a fractured jaw. Though five physi-
clans two of them among the most
eminent in the city, made a thorough
examination, no further injuries were
discovered. It is feared, however. that
Internal injuries may develop later.
Much Excitement.
Meanwhile upstairs there was much
excitement. The nurse in attendance
was listing Mrs. Fridays clothes at
the time and had just turned her back
when she jumped for the window. Tho
nurse looked round and inquired Of
the three other patients in the private
ward where Mrs. Priddy had gone.
..sshe has just jumped out of the
window" calmly responded one of the
patients. to whom the occurrence SEEM
cd almost unworthy of note.
What screamed the nurse, and inn
medlately rushed to see.
In a few minutes Mrs. Priddy had
been borne back to the ward. The
phvsicians lost no time in working
over her, and they believe she Will re-
cover. The fall is between thirty and
forty feet to pavement. Her escape
from Immediate death is considered re-
markable.
Threatened to End Life.
Mrs. Priddy was taken to the hospital
at 4 o'clock by Dr. Frazier Jones, and
was accompanied by her husband. The
latter had gone but two squares when
the accident happened, but he could
not be found until two hours later. He

ties. He stated that she had threat

The suicidal act Is believed to have
been due to the violent hysteria from
which Mrs. Priddy has been suffering
and for which she was removed to the
! hospital. Her physician had deter
mined on an operation, but this must
necessarily be deferred In view of the
later injuries.

CHILD KILLS HER

FINDS LOADED RIFLE AND THEN
SHOOTS HER HEAD OFF AT

Darlington, N. D., July 30.-A sad
accident occurred at the home of
John Hertel, a farmer living in the
vicinity of Melville. His ten-year-
old daughter was instantly killed by
a shot from a gun with which the
child, presumably, was playing at the
time. -
No one was in the house when the
gun went off. The father was work
ing in the potato patch and the
mother busily at work In the old
house from which they were moving
into their new home. lG.aa.
One of the other children, hearing
the report of the gum, told the father
who fastened into the house and up
stairs where the child was lying dead
with the gun beside her.
The bullet had entered her head
and death was instantaneous.

THE OLD SCHOOL DEMOCRACY,

The Williston State had fit be-
cause the Bismarck Tribune referred
to the New York Sun as 'the old
school of Democracy" and says that
the Tribune is either densely ignor-
ant or that it Intentionally misrep-
resents. The State says the Sun
hasn't supported Democratic candi-
date for the presidency for twenty
four ears. The fact that the New
York Sun hasn't supported the can
didate of the Democratic party for
many years is not a complete refuta-
ton of the Suns Democracy.
The Bismarck Tribune paid trib-
ute to the Suns sanity when it re-
ferred to it as "of the old school of
Democracy" not the modern Bryan
lied stripe. HI
The Sun is one of the conservative
journals of the country and because
it has not chased after strange gods
and championed every Democratic
heresy the leaders of that party have
allowed their peerless leader to
inject into their platforms, because
the Sun stands for stability of gov
eminent and business integrity, be-
cause 1t does not favor the tearing
up of railroad tracks and the utter
humiliation of corporations; because
it recognized inmutable law of evo-
luton in business, whereby aggrea-
cation of capital and gigantic corpor-
atoms are a necessity to- carry for
ward the great industrial develop
ment of the world, because the Sun
believes in regarding corporations,
trusts and combinations of capital,
rather than destroying these inevi-
table consequences of the promoters
of prosperity; because the SUMS
stripe of Democracy favors the Amer
lean system Of protection to Ameri-
can industry; because, in short, the
Sun has something more than oc-
casional lapses of sanity and is "of
the old school of Democracy" do the
disciples of Bryan and modern Dem
ocracy dsnounce it's policy and it's
faith. .4

At Grand Forks one Of the prob
lens confronting the city is that OF
street paving, and just now the mat
ter of letting the contract for As, 900
yards is to be decided. The same
problem confronts the city Of Fargo.
Each city is endeavoring to profit by
the experience of the other but there
is always a wide range Of specula-
ton as to the best system of paving.
One thing that Grand Forks has done
that not only saves expense to the
taxpayer but adds to the beauty of
the city. In the residence portion
of Grand Forks the expense of paw
ing and maintaining the streets has
been cut down third or more by
narrowing the street proper and pro-
viding for wide parking on each side
OF the street. Those who have trav-
eled along the residence streets of
Grand Forks and Fargo will testify
to the excellence Of the Grand Forks
plan and the added beauty OF addi-
tional parking in front of the homes.
Looking down one of the avenues
OF a well shaded street with uni
form stretch of 90 or "a foot lawn
ON either side of the street, the vista
is most pleasing and restful to the
eye. IL for no other than economical
reason, disregarding the aesthetic
features, the city authorities in all
our young municipalities should
adopt the parking system In the res
idence districts and thus add to the
health and beauty of the city and
lessen the burden Of the taxpayer
In the maintenance Of good streets.
