Falls Twenty Feet from
Second Story of Home.

Veranda Railing Gives Way, and She
Is Pitched in Rear Year, Where
She Is Found Some Time After.

Mrs.. w. c. Venamon, as a result OF
injuries sustained in a 20foot fall
from the second story of her home in
Milan, lay unconscious from o'clock
yesterday afternoon until IL this morn

not able to tell what the outcome will
be until the time for the development
of internal injuries passes.
Probably it was half an hour after
the accident that Mrs. Venamon was
found in the yard at the rear of her
home. No one saw her fall. She had
been doing her homework following
luncheon, and the superstition is that
in throwing a dish of water into the
yard, she pressed too heavily against
the frail railing surrounding the sec
ond floor veranda. At any rate a sec

her body in the yard.
Face Badly DisnEured.
? Her face was terribly lacerated and
upwards of 80 stitches were required
to close the wounds. Mrs. Venamon
was carried into her home, where a
physician was in attendance until she
recovered consciousness this morning.

THIRD AVENUE TRACK ISSUE
Western Terminus Obstructs Front Of
the Main ONCE Building Of the
Complaining Concern.

Late this afternoon an application
for an injunction in behalf Of Deere
& Co. to restrain the Rock Island road
and the Moline Plow company in the
plan to lay a track on Third avenue
between Thirteenth and Sixteenth
streets, Moline was filed in the Office
of the circuit clerk. The west termin-
us OF the proposed track is in front of
the main ONCE building of Deere &
Co. The Injunction proceedings had
long been threatened by Deere & Co.
The Moline Plow company two
months ago asked permission of the
Moline city council to lay the track, in
order that 1t might occupy its property
on the north side Of Third avenue be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets with a new factory building.
Here it proposed to locate the Monitor
Drill works, originally located IN Rock
Island on It's removal from Minneapolis
next September. The Moline council
allowed the grant.
VIII Not Accept It.
In the meantime Deere & Co. have
asked certain street concessions, and
these have not been denied by the
council. But Deere & Co. have refus-
ed 20 accept the new track Of the
Moline Pillow company, its competitor,
in such shape that it will obstruct its
main ONCE building.
The Moline Pillow company track is
an issue in the city election In Mo-
line today. It is said Deere & Co.
