sure the sudden wealth from her fairy
grand-godfather wasn't all dream.
Surprised at Size of Fortune.
For 1t was the parents of Miss
Wurthmanns mother, Mrs. Charles f.
Wurthmann, 26 Reservoir avenue,
Jersey City, to whom Lehmeyer bade
Godspeed at their matrimonial en-
barkatfon rs years ago, and this, the
girl believes. is why he chose her as
his chief beneficiary.
Mrs. Wurthmann and the girl said
Mr.. Lehmeyer had been a friend of
the family since his childhood, and
they expected he would remember
them in his will. But they were as
dazed at the size of his fortune as
any of his neighbors.

tanned her vigil, calling until she was
hOarse, hoping to attract the atten-
ton of neighbor or a passerby, but
all in vain.
Throughout Saturday, with nothing
to eat or drink, and no fire in the
house, she sat there alone. School
children, on holiday, merrily ran
past the Smith dwelling, in their
eager play. Mrs. Smith again called,
but her voice was not heard. Bust
ness men on the way to and from
work, and housewives, on shopping
expeditions, walked by the home. But
none was aware of the sad plight of
the little, helpless old lady within.
And again all Saturday night and
then came Sunday. But Aunt Belle
did not lose courage. When her voice
was unheard by those in the street,
she lifted it to God in prayer, hop
ing that He would send her relief,
and not permit her, helpless as she
was, to die from cold, hunger, or eX-
haustion. Aunt Belle, long as she has
lived, and perhaps realizing that her
days on earth are numbered, did not
give up in despair. Not once did she
lose courage, this pioneer of the west,
who has, in her active days, braved
the trials and tribulations of a new
country, and lived for eighty four
years.
THEN FRIENDS ARRIVE
And finally, after the long, long
vigil, through days and nights, came
the rap at the door. And she was
among loving friends, who have since
done everything possible to provide
for her comfort. Mrs. Smith is now
confined to her bed. 1t is believed one
of her hip bones has been fractured.
IT'S a good thing it happened to
me-" cheerfully remarked Aunt Belle.
1t would have killed half the people
in Grangeville. Pm tough enough to
stand it.
Everything that happens is for
the best, and maybe I'll learn not to
live alone"

Helpless and Alone, Relief
Finally Comes to Woman, "a,
After Vigil Of AZ Hours

Alone and helpless following a fall
which seriously injured her hip, Mrs.
Belle ]. Smith, 81 years old, affection
8tely known to everyone in Grange
vile as aunt Belle" sat shivering on
the side of her bed in her home for
fOrty-two hours, until quite by acct
dent she was discovered by Kenneth
Green, a schoolboy, Sunday afternoon
at o'clock.
With a bed-quilt drawn about her
shoulders, the aged woman, unable to
lie down because of the nature of her
injuries, sat through two long nights
and for almost two days on the bed.
Mrs. Smith, frail, little woman, has
lived alone since the death of
her husband, Ernest Smith, several
years ago.
KNOCK AT THE DOOR
Aunt Belle had virtually exhausted
herself calling for help, and it was
only when the boy, by chance, raped
at the door to ask whether he might
have an article in the yard, that the
plight of the aged woman was dis
covered.
When the lad knocked, Mrs. Smith
called for him to come in. But he
found the door locked. He summoned
Franc Bowman, a neighbor, who en-
tered the home, to find Mrs. Smith
huddled on the edge of the bed.
Mrs Smith was preparing to retire
Friday night. AS she neared the bed,
her legs gave way, and she lost con-
troll of her muscles. She thought she
had suffered paralytic stroke, but
it was afterward determined such was
not the case.
She dragged herself,to the bed, and
was able, through use of her arms, to
raise the upper portion of her body
on to the bed, but she could not lift
her helpless legs, so that she might
lie down.

Friday night, the aged woman main

USE HIGHWAY CRUSHER
Rock crusher of the Grangeville
Highway district, just north of town,
will be used by the city in crushing
approximately 1000 cubic yards of
rock, estimated to be required for the
job. When the work is under way,
it is planned to run the crusher six
teen hours a day.
State street will be the first to be
improved. The work will probably
start at the north end Of State street.
Between 1000 and 1900 feet of street
will be torn up at a time, and it is
the plan of the city to complete each
stretch before proceeding with addi-
tional work, thus insuring only a
minimum of inconvenience to the
public. AL labor will be local
HAENER LOWEST BIDDER
In bids submitted to the council
for hauling rock from the crusher to

do the work for 80 cents a cubic

awarded Mr.. Haener.

You have heard from the man that

tax, all the complainers. What do
you think of Wesley Jordan, IS year
old farmer, just dead, at Lancaster,

That trash isn't worth cent. But
who will write a book, making il

and lost the energy for lack of which
he dilly-dallied in Russia and was
beaten in Waterloo because he prided
himself on eating too fast and sleep
