Mrs. M. B. Alter Suffers Fracture of Her Right Hip.

Mrs. E. P. Alter, widow of Dr. M. B. Alter, slipped on the icy pavement near her residence on Van Rensselaer street Monday evening at aboyt 6 o’clock, as she was starting to her supper at the Comer house, and suffered a fracture of the right hip at the joint. She called for help and neighbors responded and she was taken to her home. She was removed to the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. H. J. Kannal this morning, where at noon today, the fracture was reduced by physicians. Owing to the advanced age of the patient it ls jrrobable that the bone will be a long time healing and it may leave her a permanent cripple to some exr tent.
