STOOD ON HIS HEAD ALL NIGHT
Man damned In Grain Chute In Barn
Nearly Lost His Life.

Auburn, NJ Y, April IA strange
accident that caused it's victim to
stand on his head all night occurred
to Charles Stokes, laborer.
While seeking place to sleep in
the barn of Attorney John Hunter, he
poked his head into a grain chute in
the lofts and fell forward, diving into
the dark tube.
His arms were damned against his
sides and he struck the chaff at the
bottom, the softness of which saved
him from a broken neck. His shouts
were unheard, and after struggling to
exhaustion, he gave up the fight and
was held a prisoner all night.
Early in the morning Dwight Ma
comber, a caretaker, found Stokes,
and with the aid of the police rescued
the man and sent him to the City
hospital. He will recover.

Seattle, Wash, April 17.-Leonora
Murphy, a pretty nineteen-year-old
Seattle girl, changed her mind and
likewise her stockings. So she and
Clyde Rowan, of Astoria, Ore. will
not get married, although they had
been engaged for four years.
Rowan and the girl were on their
way to a minister's house to get mar
ried, when the bride-to-be discovered
hole In her right stocking just above
the shoetop. BY the time the two had
reached the parsonage she had decided
that the hole would show when she
kneeled before the minister.
In spite of Rowan's protests she
babe the minister and Rowan wait
until she could go home and change
her stockings. But she had not been
home more than five minutes before
she telephoned Rowan that he and the
minister need not wait any longer.
She said that while she was chang
ing her stockings she had changed her
mind.
