street east, MIR. and Mrs. W. A. Welty
were disturbed by an unusual and
mysterious noise which sounded like
some person groaning. 1t continued
for some little time and they finally
decided that the noise came from the
home of Mrs. Mary Wilson, veneer

their home, at $50 Lime street Find
ing the doors to the Wilson home all
locked Mrs Welty forced her way in
to find Mrs. Wilson lying on the floor
helpless. moaning with pain and suf-
fering severely from cold. A physician
was hurriedly called and after he had
made an investigation he announced
that Mrs. Wilson had suffered frac-
ture of the left hip. For a time she
was hysterical with the pain and the
cold but after she was partially re-
vived she told q tale of terrible suf-
fering. Returning from chucrh last
evening she had retired, but had got
ten up in the night to go to another
part OF her rooms. when her foot
caught in a carpet. causing her to fall
heavily to the floor The resulting
pain was intense and crippled her SO
that she was unable to get TO a door 10
call assistance and before long the
cold was sufficient to partly numb her.
She lay there and moaned in de-
liriup until discovered by Mrs. Welty.
