IN TWO PLACES
Andrew Preiss is laid op at
his home on Kinth avenue
north with his right leg broken in two places caused by
falling on the sidewalk white
on his wav home last evening.
Mr, Preiss accom pai cied by
Aloys Kusterman, M. D Kep-
pers aud Peter Hennes, were
walking home togetrer at a-
bout 11 o'clock last evening a id
were joking with each other
about falling on account of the
sidewalk being so slippery.
When across the street from
the St. Raphael's Hospital
suddenly Mr. Preiss slipped
and fell taking Mr. Kusterman with him. Mr. Kuster-
men got tohis feet immediately, but Mr. Preiss was unable
to raise himself so the other
man carried him to his home
about a block away, where a
doctor was summoned arid
discovered that the leg was
broken in two places, owing
to the age of Mr. Preiss it
will be hard for the bones to
mend and no doubt will keep
him coniinen to the house for
a number of months.
At the time of going to
