BASE SKULL FRACTURED Occurred at Side Entrance Goodlander Hotel Last Night No Hope From Start Rallied this Afternoon. Mrs.

W. H. Fox, wife of the promi nent implement man, was thrown from a cab at the side entrance of the Good- lander hotel last night shortly after 9 o'clock onto the hard macadam and sustained mortal injuries. She fell on the back of her head sustaining a con cussion of the brain, which afterward produced hemorrhage of the brain. It is also believed that the base of the skull is fractured.

This afternoon the physicians gave it out that there was no hope'of her re covery, that it was only a matter of a few hours. She has never regained consciousness since receiving the in jury and since before noon she has been in a dying condition. Later in the afternoon the patient rallied and there was a little improvement, but no hope offered. The fatal accident happened short ly after the Frisco flyer arrived from Kansas City from where she and her husband had just returned, he having been up there taking treatment at a hospital. At the depot they took a hack, which was driven by Fee Robin son and In which there were also two traveling men.

The hack man stopped at the side entrance of the Goodlander hotel on Wall street to let the travel ing men out, and he accompanied them to the hotel to get their fares, leaving the horses untied, as he only intended to be gone a minute. Mr. and Mrs Fox remained in the cab. While the hackman was gone some boys who were on the veranda directly over the entrance shot off a Roman candle and the sparks fell on the horses head They were not spirited animals, but this frightened them and the team wheeled suddenly around and started to the barn at a furious speed. Rea lizing their perilous position, Mr.

Fox quickly jumped from the cab door to catch the lines. By the time he had reached the ground, Mrs. Fox was in the act of getting out. When on the step the horses gave another sudden lunge and she was thrown to the ground. Frank Rodecker and Harry Hellman were standing on the corner at the hotel and they saw the accident.

Mrs. Fox fell on the back of her head and lav there apparently life less. Being a large woman, the fall was of great force. Messrs. Rodecker and Hellman and Mr.

Fox picked her up for dead and had her removed to the hotel. There was a scalp wound at, the base of the brain from which clotted blood was flowing. Blood was also oozing from the nostrils and ears. A call was sent for physicians, and Drs. Aikman, Carver and McDonald responded.

Restoratives were admin istered, but failed to produce any signs of life. Mrs. Fox's mother, Mrs. J. M.

Terry, and her sisters were sent for and they remained all night. All that medical science could do was done to save her life. The doctors gave it out at noon that there was no hope and the family was again sent for. It is a bad concussion, the skull being fractured in addition, which made it a difficult case to treat successfully. At no time were there any signs of life, save heavy breathing by the patient, and at noon she was given, up.

She has a remaricaDie con stitution and that is the only thing that prolonged life. Randolph's Linen Special starts Monday, June 9 lasts for one week. I Randolph's. I P. STRIKING MINERS DEMONSTRAT-PIERPONT.

Almost every one of the passengers was cut by flying glass or thrown against the door, window or seat in such a manner as to sustain painful injuries. The injuries of the majority of the pasengers were slight however, and they all hastily set about to rescue the less fortunate.

A majority of the victims were able to go in search of doctors themselves The residents of Brentwood carried others to convenient houses or plac ed them on neighboring lawns until physicians arrived.

to MISS BERTHA PRESSLER WEDDED TO C. E. SCHULTZ. HE WAS JUST DIVORCED Former Chief Clerk at Frico. She Was High School Teacher He Left His Family Hert, The news of the unexpected mar-rigae of Miss Bertha Pressiar, one of the High School faculty who taught shorthand last term, to Mr.

C. E. Schultz, was received In this city last night. The wedding was held at the Christain church parsonage in Kansas City Wednesday. It was a surprise to all her friends.

Miss Pressiar left here Tuesday for Kansas City ostensibly to visit relatives and was there met by Mr. Schultz who is agent for the Frisco at Salem, Mo. Her parents were not aware that she was to be married until she left, when she told them. Connected with the match there is a tinge of romance which is also sur rounded with some peculiar circum stances, in that up to a few weeks ago Schultz was a married man his fam ily living in this city. Mr.

Schultz is well known in this city. For a couple of years he was chief clerk to Division Superintendent Mitchell of the Frisco and held that position until he was relieved by D. L. Avery- When here he and his fam ily lived at 1238 East Oak street. Miss Pressler met him when she was sten ographer for Superintendent Mitchell.

When the Memphis road was absorbed by the Frisco he was transferred to Sa lem, Mo. When Mr. Schultz was transferred to Salem he did not take his family with him and they remained at 1238 east Oak street. He had a wife and three children. Before that time.

It is said, no domestic trouble existed In the family, but the fact that his family did not go to him gave credence to the report that there was a little do mestic infelicity. It Is understood that Schultz was not as attentive to his wife and that when he went away it was mutually understood that they would not live together again. About three weeks aeo or less, it Is claimed by the neighbors with whom Mrs. Schultz had talked regarding her trouble, the former chief clerk served notice on her that he would apply for a divorce. It is claimed that she was willing for the legal separation, and It oniuorDil tn "ha a hnelnoaa trn -nan rtinn.

The divorce was obtained and the woman with her three children left a few. days ago for the home of her parents in Missouri. It is said that Mr. Schultz furnished his first wife with transportation for herself and children and her household effects. 7 PERSONAL.
