ILLINOIS WOMAN INJURED

Mrs. Beath of Bloomington Crushed in New York Elevator. New York, July 28. Mrs. Emma Beath, of 814 Norman street, Bloomington, 111., had her right leg so badly crußhcd in an elevator accident at the Audubon apartments, that when she was taken to the Washington Heights hospital physicians amputated the leg just below the right knee. On account of Mrs. Beath’s age—she is in her seventy-second year—the surgeons thought there was little chance of her recovery. Mrs. Beath’s son David, who is connected with a sugar refining company, lives at the Audubon and his mother has been visiting him for the past few weeks.
