FALL ON STAIRS
CAUSES DEATH

A distressing accident occurred late
Sunday evening, which may prove
fatal to Mrs. Coats, wife Of A. B,
Coats, who reside on Upper Wiscon-
sin street. II appears that about
eight o'clock that same evening, Mrs.
Costs, who is partly blind, started to
60 in the pantry for q drink, but in
stead entered the cellar door, which
Is next to the pantry She fell clear
TO the bottom and seems to have
struck on her head. the blow rendering
her unconscious. Except for . few
minutes Monday afternoon, she has
since remained in the same state.
Mrs. Lura Chamberlain, niece of Mr..
Coats, who is spending the winter at
the Coats home, heard the noise of
fall and Immediately summoned help
from the Zugelder home next door.
With the assistance Of the Zugelder
boys, the injured lady was carried
from the cellar and medical aid was
1t once secured. Two ribs were
broken, also the collar bone, while q
number Of bad gashes about the head
and face, and badly bruised arm,
testified to the force Of the fall.
Everything possible is being done to
make the patient as comfortable as
possible, but owing to her advanced
age, and the shock to her nervous
system, her recovery is doubtful.
However, friends are hoping for a
turn for the better. It was indeed .
wonder she was not killed outright.
Sincere sympathy is extended to the
family, as Mr.. Coats, himself, is in
very poor health this winter, and the
shock Of his wife's accident has upset
him considerably.
LATER-As we go to press word
is received that Mrs. Coats died last
night, Thursday at lO:45. Funeral
services win be held Saturday after
noon from the Adams Undertaking
pariors. at two o'clock.

Meanwhile, the horse under Mr..

and by its tremendous efforts cracked
the packed snow 20 that after three
hours, from nine till HAS, he broke
from his pflson. There was NO siRu

from exhaustion. In Z short distapce
he met the rescue party, and they re-

out the two men lying along side and
partly beneath the animals, were quite
dead.
The bodies were taken To Moscow
but word Of the accident did not reach
here until Monday noon, because Of the
continued storm which rendered the

Berryhill and Sebastian Gardner, took
their lives In their hands and went
from Bogan's camp to bring the
bodies thru the canon. Expected back

because Of almost superhuman exer-
tions in getting the bodies and the
horses over the slides where snow and
timber and debris arc piled.

NEWARK HIGH
WINS SECOND GAME
OF SEASON
Outplays Elkton High on
Home Grounds Saturday
Afternoon

A large body of enthusiastic root
ers witnessed the second victory won
by the Newark High School football
team on Friday afternoon. By good,
all-round playing Newark High team
easily defeated Elkton High on Frazer
Field, Delaware College, by the score
of A 9to 0. These two teams played
two tie games last year, 6 to 6 and II
to II. Newark plainly demonstrated
that it was the best trained team and
scored almost at will on the visitors.
Newark scored a SAFETY within a
minute after the game was started.
Armstrong kicked off for Newark and
booted the ball back of Elkton's goal
line. Cy Ramsberg, Elkton's fullback,
who played in running rogs, got the
ball and attempted to run out with
it, but before he got from back of his
own goal line he was downed by d
Newark player, giving the latter
safety. Five minutes later, after
working the ball down the field on
straight football Armstrong took it
over for a touchdown.
Elkton was unable to make consist
ent gains, through Newark's line, ana
did not get but one first down until the
last quarter. The visitors then gov
within 20 yards of Newark's, where
they were held.
Two of Newark's touchdowns were
the result of forward passes inter-
cepted by Armstrong, who made lonA
runs for the touchdowns. Armstrong;
playing was one of the features. Evans
and ]. Mayer also played well in New
ark's backfield. While the entire Inns
did good work the tackling of A. May
er was also feature. The lineup:
