Suffers a Painful Injury
Miss Carrie Stelp1ug, cook at the
st. Andrews boarding school, met
with a painful accident last Tuesday
morning. She slipped on the ice near
the school and fell on her back and
was unable to move herself. Mrs.
Sadie Schiffman, living nearby, saw
Miss Stelpfug fall, and went to her
aid but was unable to raise her up.
Mrs. Schiffman called for help and the
unfortunate woman was carried into
the building and later removed to the
second floor where she lay from that
time on. Her sufferings were intense
and she was and is yet in precar-
ious condition. At this writing she is
resting somewhat easier but requires
constant attention. She had just re-
covered from the effects of q very sore
hand that had rendered her incapable
of doing any kind of work for several
months, and now this accident makes
it rather pathetic for the kind lady.
She has the sympathy of a host of
friends who hope to see her around
soon.
