Professors Wife
Describes Fall
Down Side of Peak
Incessant Shouting During
Eight Days She Lay on Peril.
Gus Ledge Led Searching
Party to Her.

Spray Falls, Alta, July 50-Mrs.
w. E. Stone, testing in an im-
provised camp on Mount canon,
described today how the shrill sound
OF her voice. caught up by the multi
tude of peaks and crags and re-
cchoing, saved her life after her hus-
band, president of Purdue univer-
sity Of Lafayette, Ind. had perished
in climbing the mountain, and after
she had lain eight days on perilous
ledge.
A searching party had calculated
the probable course that DR.. and
Mrs. Stone would take in the at
tempt to ascend Mount Eanon.
From a point OF vantage the
searchers had secured every side
with their glasses without sight
of anything. Then. as they decided
to 60 on, one member of the party
thought he heard the cry Of a wom-
All from afar. Listening intently,
the searchers heard it again.
Rescue Didn't Take Long.
A minute inspection with their
glasses revealed far Nlow and across
the canyon the form of woman.
One hour later Mrs. Stone was
rescued.
At different periods she had raised
her voice with ali the vigor she had,
expecting that some time it might
be heard and she would be rescued.
DR.. Stone was within FIVE minutes
climb of the top of the hitherto un-
scaled mountain.
The accident happened on July lo.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stone expected to
make the climb, rest at the top and
then get back to the TODD cache that
night.
DR.. Stone was climbing above,
chcerfully and unhes,tatingly, when
without word of warning, a fare
well of any kind, not even a sign,
he plunged over her head to the
abyss below. He fell fully 5000 feet
in the opinion of his wife. She saw
the body strike a rock, bound from
it from cliff to cliff and on down the
side Of the mountain; and when
found was 5000 feet below the point
where Dr.. Stone had fallen.
Was Alone Eight Days.
How Mrs. Stone became marooned
on ledge of rock she does not know.
She could proceed neither way. In
that position she spent eight days.
She had no food, but during the mid
die Of each day when the sun was
high a tiny stream OF melted snow
came trickling down. close enough
that she could refresh herself. She
never gave up the fight. Every day
she cried for help and it was because
of this spirit that she eventually was
discovered.
DR.. Stone seemed to have had
presentiment that the venture might
end in disaster. When he and Mrs.
Stone departed from camp on Mount
Assiniberne, the Matterhorn of the
Canadian Rockies on July IS, he left
word that if they did not return in
three days a searching party should
be sent out. The mountain is almost
inaccessible. Last year a Wakefield
party made an unsuccessful attempt
to scale it. They had reached an al
titude of o,763 feet, when they came
to a stone wall which was impossible
to ascend. They had no time to
make another attempt, but sug-
gestcd that an ascent might be made
from the southeast end of Mount
Glory. With this information Dr..
and Mrs. Stone made the effort which

Jordans Among Cars
Disblayed

The Jordan car has always
commanded higher prices in the
used car market than any car in
its class. Used car buyers tell
us, that, barring two makes of
automobiles of the cheaper class,
the Jordan has the highest pro-
portionate resale valuation of
anyautomobile built in theworld.
In this special offering of good
used cars, there will be few
Jordans for early buyers.
For ten days, those individuals
who have been waiting for just
such an opportunity may buy a
used car from any Jordan distrib-
utor with complete confidence in
the character of the car-in the
condition of the garland in the
price at which it will be sold.

tors throughout the UnitedStates,
makes public the most unusual
price reductions ever offered on
used cars.
This inspiring statement of
Jordan policy and these startling
price reductions are in keeping
with the spirit of the Jordan
organization.
That spirit is characterized by
profound recognition of the
selling power of truth.
1t is likewise in recognition of
that splendid confidence which
has been accorded to the Jordan
organization by the American
people since the day the company

The family settled near State Line, on the farm now owned by Mr. Stin- son. When Walter Smith was mar ried to Betsey Vinton, daughter of Calvin and Rebecca MOulton VintOn of this town, December 29, 1924, he lived for a time in the house which stood where Louis Aldrich now lives. Later he built the house south of the State Line schoolhOuse. To this couple seven children were born, none of whom are living, Mrs. Catha- rine, mother of Herbert Smith, being the only surviving one of the genera tiOn. She was married to Henry Waldo Smith, August 21, 1855, by Rev. Theron c. Colton of Monson. This couple occupied the old home stead as long as MT. Smith lived. It was sold in December, 1891.
