ChiX. Young Lady Home

Miss Jessie Kelsey, the popular and
attractive young daughter Of ]. B. Kel-
sey. 127 North Ninth street, arrived
home from the University of Califor-
mia at Berkley, Cal, under rather dis
tressing conditions yesterday.
While engaged in physical contest
at the college recently she in some
mysterious way received muscular
strain that settled in one hip. After
two weeks in the university hospital
physicians decided that as her injury
required long and continuous rest it
was best that she return to her home.
Miss Kelsey is compelled to use
crutches in rowing about and found
the long railroad journey across the
continent very tedious.
The injury is battling to physicians
both at Berkeley and here, but it is
thought will yield kindly to long rest
and home treatment.
The young lady is undecided as tc
whether she will return to the Uni
versity Of California, or attend an in
stitution near home when she has re
covered.
