When Mr.. Harry Page, a carpenter,
returned home from work about 8 o.
clock last Monday afternoon, he found
his wife, Mrs. Clara Page, lying uncon-
scious on the floor in one of the rooms.
Her condition was due to a stroke OF
paralysis which, it is presumed, she
was seized by in the morning soon af-
ter Mr.. Page went to his work, as the
fires had gone out and the house was
cold. 1t was her intention that morn
ing to do her washing and as she had
only commenced it, this is taken as
another indication hat she had lain
on the floor in her helpless, ~paralyzed
state during most of the day. Her con-
dition is critical; she has no use of
ueT right sue excepting ueI manu-,
which she could move a little. Her
two sisters, of Camden, came down on
Tuesday for a visit not knowing about
her seizure, but happened to come at
a good time, as they have been helping
nurse her. Mrs. Page has peer i'll for
several months and during the past
year had to submit to hospital treat
ment several times. The Pages live in
their bungalow which they built new
about three years ago. 1t is located
between Nevada and California ave
