sever pain developed in the Colonels
side near the heart while he was on the
way TO greet his newly married son
Kermit and his wife on their arrival
here. The spasm compelled Col. Roose-
welt to postpone his return to Sycamore

There physicians decided that the pain
had been brought on by spasms of
coughing. which had been frequent since
his return from tho West Indies and
which had wrenched the muscles about a
rib fractured when the Colonel had an
accident with n horse. The accident
occurred on May "a the year before
