Distressing Accident

While attempting to pass from
one room to another of her home
without light early last Sun
day morning, Mrs, c. A. Renouf
of Cove lost her footing and fell
from the upper landing to the
bottom of the stairs. She was
carrying jar. which was shat
tered and a piece of which cut a
large cash Just below the knee.
She was severely bruised and
her right wrist was badly sprain-
ed. DR.. Owens rendered first
aid and found it necessary to
take several stitches in the
wound below the knee. Mr..
Renouf reported on Monday that
Mrs. Renouf was doing as well
as could be expected. A daugh-
ter, Mrs. b. W. Parker, of Seat
tie, and her husband. came over
Sunday and are assisting in car
ing for the injured woman. In
reviewing the accident, it seems
little short of miracle that Mrs.
Renouf did not suffer fractured
limb or was not killed.
