placed on one of the car cushions, and
while they were carrying her to an

coughs and was gone.
The body was carried to the home
of Mr. Groves and Coroner A. G

the parents, who had by this time ar
rived, refused to believe their dear
one was dead, and the doctors worked
to bring her back to life. However,
Coroner Taylor finally declared that
nothing more could be done and that
the death was due entirly to an acci-
dent.

he was unconscious only for short

Analysis of Min
eral Spring Water

The following analysis of the water
from the mineral spring near the State
bridge, just above Austin, was fur
nished this paper by Mr.. f. P. Wat
son, and will be of interest to many
of our readers who have used the
waters for health benefits.
This spring has never been either
developed or improved, to any extent.
The water merely flows from its
source in the hillside into tiny basin
not more than large enough TO dip up
a clean quart cup of water from, and
thence into the little creek running
by. The spring could be made to supply
small number of bath tubs and
could be improved and given an attrac-
tive appearance with a little effort
