his home to the ground, distance of
about twenty-five feet, sustaining a
fracture of one leg. sprained wrist
and internal injuries. After receiv-
ing treatment at the hands of three
Rockville physicians. he was removed
to the hospital, where an operation was
performed. Because of his age. he be-
ing seventy-two. il is feared he may
not recover.

Rice, both of Warsaw, Va, who also
visited Rockville on a matrimonial mis-
sior this afternoon, were not so fortu-
nate. The difficulty in their case was
that the young man was but twenty
years old and did not bring with him
the written consent of his parents. as
required by law in case of minors. so
the clerk of the court had no alterna-
tive but to refuse to issue a license.
The young man minated that he
would not be able to obtain the con-
sent of his father and with his near
bride left for Washington.
