MONTEZUMA ACCIDENTS

Miss Ida Bone, slipped and fell on the ice at her home Friday, suffering a broken hip. She had been emptying some ashes, and did not see the ice. She was discovered by Ella Gross after she had lain for almost twenty minutes, and medical aid was summoned. At this time she is getting along as nicely as possible.

Mrs. Julia Thompson fell in front of her home on Wedneday evening of last week, breaking her right arm. She was preparing to enter the house when she slipped on the ice, causing the accident.

Mrs. Clifford Story, one of the managers of the Allison hotel, fell from the half way landing on the second floor to the first, severly injuring her back, yesterday afternoon. At the present time she is at the hotel undergoing medical treatment. Several X-rays were taken of the injured back.--Montezuma Republican.
