William Adler, a Chicagoan, had his
right leg broken Saturday night while
running away from some men who as
saulted him as the result Of a quarrel
in Huber's garden, Fifth avenue and
Thirty-fourth street, where a dance
was in progress. The victim was found
in the railroad yards opposite the gar
den about 1 o'clock Sunday morning,
and he was carried to the street rail
way barn, where he awaited the arrival
of the ambulance in which he was
taken to st. Anthony's hospital. Adler
states that several men picked a quar-
rel with him and then began an assault
from which he fed. He raced down the
into the street and into the railroad
yards. By this time he was pretty
we'll ahead of his assailants and they
gave up the chase. At this point, how
ever, while looking behind, he stepped
on a rail or a tie in such a way as to
cause him to lose his footing and he
fell to the ground, breaking his leg.
Couldn't Get Aid.
This happened about 1920, and he
lay there for nearly three hours before
he was able to attract attention and
get aid in being carried out of the
yards He finally succeeded in get
ting a response to his call for aid,
and he was carried TO the street car
barn and later removed to the hospital.

ELEVATOR SHAFT
PLUNGE IS FATAL
Henry Gravert, Aged 15, In
stantly Killed in Daven-
port Building.
FALLS THREE STORIES
AIights on His Head, Crushing His
Skull-Victim an Employe of
Harmed & Won Maur Store.

Henry Gravert, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Gravert, who reside on the
Rockingham road, just west of Daven-
port, was instantly killed this morning
when he fell from the third floor Of
the Harmed & Won Maur building to
the bottom of the freight elevator
shaft.
The lad was employed as wrapping
clerk at the store and had worked there
for more than a year He had just de-
livered some express packages from
the first to the second floor this morn
ing at o'clock, and started back to
his work. In stead of walking or rid
ing in the passenger elevator, he start
ed for the freight elevator. The freight
elevator was on the first floor, and so
he pulled the cable to bring it up TO
the second floor. The shaft is guarded
on the second floor with automatic
gates When these were raised by the
elevator Henry attempted to board the
carriage without stopping it.
AIiEhts on His Head.
He missed his footing and slipped
and fell backward. He caught hold on
the side of the elevator and was car
ried upward. When the third floor was
reached his hold was broken and he
fell to the basement. He alighted on
his head. Those who saw the accident
Immediately called a physician. Elk
animation was made and it was found
that the boy had been instantly killed
by the force of the fall. His head was
badly crushed and battered. The cor
oner, after hearing the nature of the
accident, decided that it was unneces-
sary to conduct an inquest. The man
agement of the store stated that the
lad had no right to run the elevator
and was disobeying orders when he
did so.
Boy is Eyewitness.
Another boy, who was near the shaft
at the time, saw Gravert fall, but did
not have presence of mind to pull the
cable of the elevator and save the boy
from the fatal fall. The lad was Is
years of age and is survived by his
parents, four sisters and three brothers.
