MRS. ELLA RISHLING INJURED

Fell" From Motorcycle and Fractured Her Left Hip. Mrs. Ella Rishling, aged perhaps 60 years, is a patient in the county hospital suffering from a broken h’p. In company with her son Dana she had gone to Remington Sunday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Elmer Bartoo,- riding the rear of motorcycle and sitting sidewise on same. On the return trip at the sand hill in Jordan township, where Dana—who has .had the motorcycle but a short time and is not yet an expert driver —had turned out a little to let County Treasurer May pass in his car, Mrs. Rishling lost her balance and pitched forward from the motorcycle and fell, suffering a fracture of her left hip. Mr. May and family and Miss Dottie Porter of Remington, who is visiting the May girls this week, had noticed the wavering progress of the motorcycle before they passed it and the latter looked back to see how it was coming. They saw Mrs. Rishling faU and immediately stopped their car and went back to render assistance. The injured woman was picked up and brought to her home in Rensselaer by Mr. May, the extent of her injuries not being known until a physician had been called. It .was deemed best to place her in the hospital and she was taken there Monday. **
