of her models are fitted in at the
waistline with a number of seams and

The prevalence of seams is notable in
all the new French suits. Some coats

MAN IS KILLED
IN ODD ACCIDENT
Traetor SomersauIts, Throwing Driver
Into Air and Fraeturlag Skull
In Fall.

Tolley, April 15.-Alfred Ben
son, a young man of this city,
died last night as the result of
one of the most peculiar acci-
dents probably in history. He
was employed in unloading g
tractors from a flat car onto the
unloading platform yesterday.
After the tractor which he was
unloading got onto the plat
form he was unable from some
cause to stop the engine, and
the front wheels dropped over
the edge of the platform. When
this occurred, the tractor turn
ed a somersault in the air.
Benson was thrown upward
and came down on the tractor
again, fracturing his skull by
striking on the overturned
machine.
He lived about six hours after
the accident.
