FARMER BREAKS
THIGH in FALL
William Cline Goes Through
Hole In Floor In Strange
House

William Cline the well-known young
farmer living near Frohna, is at his
home recovering from a broken right
thigh bone, which he sustained last
Saturday night when he fell through
a hole in the floor at a farmhouse near
Wittenburg, where he had stopped
overnight on his way home.
Cline had driven load of cattle
from his home to Wittenburg where
they were to be shipped. Owing to
the storm that passed over the north
end of the county that night, making
the reads impossible, Cline requested
a nights lodging from farmer whose
house he passed on the road.
He was put to bed on the second
floor which had been only partly finish
ed. At one end of the room and near
the staircase, part of the flooring had
not been laid and an open hole was
left in the floor.
While it was still dark, Cline arose
to get an early start with his work and
while cropping his way to the staircase,
he encountered the open part of the
floor. He was unaware that he was
about to step into the hole and he fell
IA feet to the first floor beneath him.
He had endeavored to light a match
with which to illuminate his way, but
because his matches had become damp
ened by the rain, he was forced to feel
his way in the dark and made the false
step.
Members Of the family picked him
up and carried him to bed. A doctor
from Perryville was summoned Sun
day morning and subsequently word
was sent to DIR. r. T. Henderson Of
Jackson to come. Cline was removed
to his home at Frohna Sunday after
noon. and the two physicians set the
bone in his thigh and placed his leg
and virtually all of that side of his
body in 4 sling.

WIND DAMAGED
CAPE PROPERTY
Roofs Removed, Chimneys Are
Smashed-COrn to do
Well with Rain.

The young gale that accompanied
the hard rainstorm that passed over
the Cape late Tuesday night, did con-
siderable property damage in the city
and tie damage that was done in Cape
County cornfelds was virtually offset
by the heavy rainfall that will aid the
crops.
No persons were injured in the
storm, but in many homes, the occu-
pants fled to the cellar for protection
against tornado.
Wire service inside Cape County was
virtually restored to normal condition
yesterday and communications again
were established with outside counties
The storm cut the Cape off from COM
munication by long distance telephone
with St. Louis Tuesday night and
early yesterday morning.
At 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning
a line was obtained to st. Louis from
the Cape by way of Cairo and the
east side. Over this line, The Tribune
obtained the first news of Col. Fred
D. tiardner's nomination and Judge
Henry Lamm's unexpected strength in
the state primaries.
The wind threw down several trees
on the south side of the Courthouse
Park as well as in various places in
the city. The chimney was cut off, a
grape arbor was demolished and other
damage done at the home of VIII
Kruger at III Morgan Oak street.
The chimney on the house of Henry
Schwab on South Ellis street was
blown down and several holes torn in
the roof of the home of William Lyle
at Middle and William street.
Lightning struck the home of James
Thompson on West William street and
slightly damaged. The wind also dam
aged a she'd at the Frisco station.

That Eugene Andrews and Miss
Helen Eagle Wednesday night elOped

mony performed here. Following their

cret from all their friends and rela-
tives. They had endeavored to have
the marriage license kept secret also.

She has two brothers who are en-
polyed at the shoe factory and a
brother who is employed as brake

AVIATRIX MAY FLY
AT CAPE CITY. FAIR
Negotiations Pending to Get
Aeroplanist-Woman
Demands $1,000.

That negotiations now are pending
to secure an aviatrix-feminine aero
plane operatOr-as one of the prin-
cipal attractions of the Cape County
Fair became known yesterday.
An aeronaut will be secured for
several flights at the Fairgrounds,
members of the Board of Directors
virtually have decided, but the nego-
tiation over terms now is holding up
any contract with any of the flyers.
An aviatrix will cost the Fair As
ISOLATION about twice the cost of a
man to do the same work, and for
that reason, the members of the board
are looking a long time at the money
that is to be expended upon that sort
of an entertainment.
Some members of the board urge
that Roy Francis, the aviator who was
here two years ago, can be obtained to
perform stunts and trick flying that
will please the Cape County crowds.
Others are holding out for a woman
who can do the trick flying.
One of the specifications that is in
sisted upon is an aviatrix who can
do a loOp-the-loop with her machine
and that feature is one of the essential
details that is boosting the price.
Feminine aeroplanists demnad $1,000
for four flights and some of the stars
quote their prices as high as $500
for the four days days in the Cape.
Other aeronauts demand but half the
price of the aviatrix and the board ex-
poets to make its selection within a
short time.
Season family tickets to the fair
have been placed on sale in many
stores and business houses throughout
the county in the last few days, and
the members of the board expect hun
dreds of them to be disposed of long
before the gates to the fair ever are
opened. The sale of family tickets
will be ended several days before the
opening of the fair.
Superintendent J. T. Num- already
has received inquiries concerning the
concessions and races from many own
ers, and by last night contracts vir-
tually have been closed with six of the
concession men. The entries in the
races will not be made till about ten
days before the opening of the fair,
but many horsemen already have WRIT
ten for information.
Mayor Rage, who likewise is pres
ident Of the Fair Association, yester
day said that little remains to be done
at the park to put the grounds in con-
dition for the fair. The buildings,
since the city has taken over the park,
have been put in condition for use,
and with little more work, will be
ready to house one of the biggest and
most complete fairs in the county's
history.
