Falls Down Cellar Steps and Breaks Her Ankle.

While descending the cellar steps at her home about 7:30 Tuesday evening, Mrs. Anna Teuter, tripped and fell, breaking the two bones just above her ankle of the left limb, and sustaining other minor bruises and cuts. Notwithstanding her crippled condition, she dragged herself back up the stairs and succeeded in reaching the telephone and summoned aid from the neighbors. Mrs. Tuteur was alone in the house at the time of the accident. The broken bones were set by a surgeon Thursday and she is now getting along nicely.
