THE MOM AT MURRAY - , ,i Peg 0' the Ring the 13th episode of this great serial. Head of the Family a one reel feature The Janitor A nightmare of mishaps PUIS G GQrJSEPER Saturday Evcisjv S&w Starts at 7:45 Sharp Mrs. John Morford Fell When Start ing to School This Morning, Fracturing Both Limbs. From Tuesday's Daily. This morning Mrs. John Morford, who is teaching school in the Amick district west of Mynard, was the victim of a serious accident that oc curred as she was starting from the home of Mrs. Dave Amick where she was boarding for her schood some distance away. As Mrs. Morford stepped from the door she slipped on the stone step which was covered with snow and fell with considerable force onto the hard surface of the step and in so doing broke both bones of the left leg. Medical aid was at once summoned and Dr. G. II. Gilmore, of Murray, who was called to the scene reduced the fracture and made the patient as comfortable as possible under the cir cumstances. It seems that the step upon which she fell was made from the top of a billiard table and was worn very smooth and slick and with the coating of snow made a danger ous object to step upon. The injured lady remained at the Amick home until this afternoon when her hus band, accompanied by Dr. O. E. Lis ton of Elmwood, motored over and took her back home to Elmwood, where she will remain until the in jured limbs are so that she can be up and around again. The accident will be greatly regretted by - the friends of this estimable lady in the locality where she has been teaching as she has been having great success in the school and the accident will force her to abandon the work for some time at least.

He has been re siding in Canada for the past five years. Mr. Stokes will visit in this city and at Murray over the holidays. FUNERAL OF MRS. ARMILDA MINFORD Funeral services for Mrs. Armilda Minford will be held at the family residence, 1G21 Sj-camore street, at 3 p. m. today. Interment will take place Monday at Eight Mile Grove ceme tery, near Plattsmouth. Mrs. Min ford survived her husband, Robert J. Minford, four years. Both lived to the age of eighty years. Seven years ago they celebrated their golden wedding. Robert J. Minford and Ar milda Searl were married in 1839 at Webster, O., and went at once to Portsmouth, where they made their home. During the civil war Mr. Min ford went to the front and served two years in the Twenty-second Ohio vol unteers; at home Mrs. Minford was bearing uncomplainingly the burden of managing a home and caring for two small children. In 1870 Mr. and Mrs. Minford moved to Nebraska and located on a farm in Cass county. There they endured tTie many vicissi tudes of pioneer life and kept open a friendly door for the stranger and the few neighbors who were also battling for an existence. Cheerful and op timistic, they fought thru the many difficulties and succeeded in acquiring sufficient land to take care of them in their declining years. In 1895 they moved to Lincoln, where they spent their last days. Six children sur vive them: W. N. Minford, of Elm wood, Mrs. Mary M. Davis and W. H. Minford of Lincoln, G. M. Minford of Murray, Mrs. Iva Irland of Berlin and I. L. Minford of Los Angeles. Lincoln State Journal.
