MRS. STONE RESTING
ON MOUNTAIN SIDE
Wife of Former President of Purdue
University Was Very
Near Death.

Banff, Alberta, July 29.-The
story of how Mrs. W. E. Stone, wife
of the former president Of Purdue
university, dangled at the end OF a
rope in q midair and then drop ex-
hausted on a four foot ledge the on
Iybreak in a precipitous cliff hun
dreds of feet high, after an unsuc-
cessful attempt to save her husband
who had fallen into q crevice below,
was revealed today in dispatches re-
ceived here from the correspondent
of,the Calgary Herald.
Mrs. Stone is now In an unprovis-
ed camp on the mountain side recov-
vering from the experience Of lying
on the tiny ledge for eight days
without food or water until rescued
by Rammer, Swiss guide, who car
ried her down the steep mountain
side to safety. The correspondent
told how she watched her husband
fan as they were attempting to climb
Mount Eanon and then attempted to
aower herself with the rope in the
hope of rescuing him. The rope, how
ever, was too short and after hang
ing alongside the mountain and find
ing she was unable to pull herself
back up, she let 60, expecting to
plunge to her death in the abyss be-
low. Fate intervened and she land
ed on the narrow ledge, drop of
ten feet. Members Of the party that
rescued Mrs. Stone are building a
raft to convey her down the Marvel
lakes, the first stage Of the 55 mile
trip to civilization. The search for
DIR. Stones body has proved unavail-
ing and members of the rescue party
are nearly exhausted from their ef-
forts to find him. It is probable that
the body will be left until another
and better equipped searching party
can be organized.
Mrs. Stone is still weak, but DR..
Bell of Winnipeg, who has been with
her since she was found on Sunday,
is conid denssthat she is now out of
danger.

MARLBORO MAN BROWNS
B. F. Whitner of Bennettsville Loses
Life in Pond.

Bennettsville, July 27.-B. F.
Whitner, prominent undertaken OF
this city, was drowned late this al
ternoon at the Burnt factory pond,
five miles north of Bennettsville.
The body was recovered about 8
o'clock tonight, some three hours
after it is believed Mr.. Whitner met
his death. 1t is thought that Mr..
Whitner was drowned when he got
into water over his head and was un-
able to swim to safety or else that
heart failure, to which it is said he
was at times subject, caused his
death. Mr.. Whitner was poor
swimmer, and may have been unable
to swim to safety when in deep
water.
In company with several persons
from Bennettsville, Mr.. Whitner
went to the nearby pond about 5
o'clock this afternoon. Those in the
party say that for some time Mr..
Whitner was in bathing with them
in the mill race, that he then stated
that he was going to the mill house
to dress. Mr.. Whitner was seen to
leave the pool and to start towards
the pond on the other side Of the
mill dam. He was ls 1t seen alive by
a young man who stated that he, met
Mr.. Whitner while going from the
pond to the race. It is supposed that
Mr.. Whitner suddenly decided to go
in the pond before dressing, and
that he stepped in q hole and went
down in the water over his head.
There was no one in the pond at the
time he was last seen, so there were
no eye witnesses to the drowning.
Mr.. Whitner was not missed for
some time. When the rest of the par
ty prepared to leave they found that
he had not left, his clothes being
found in the mill house. Search was
Immediately begun with the result
that his body was found in the pond
in seven feet of water about rs feet
from the mill dam. =. r..
: Mr.. Whitner was one of the best
known of Bennettsville's business
men and numbered his friends by
the hundreds. He had been a resi-
dent of Bennettsville for number
Of years and was widely known
throughout this section. He was
originally from Jacksonville, Fla,
being member of a prominent
Florida family. Surviving him are
his wife, who was Miss Eva Lewis,
of Fredericksburg, Va, and one son,
William Church .Whitner. Several
brothers and sisters also survive, he
was an active member Of the Pres
byterian church, and also a leading
member of the local K. of P. and
Woodmen, in which orders he had
held high offices. ~.
