  DENNIS MCCARTY DISOBEYS ADMONITION AND IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. Dennis McCarty, one of the oldest residents of the city and father of County Treasurer J. J. McCarty was seriously injured by a fall Saturday. Not withstanding that his daughters had warned him against doing so, he climbed to the roof of the kitchen to adjust a pipe on the chimney and fell to the ground a distance of one story. No one was home at the time and it is not known how long he lay where he fell. He finally managed to crawl into the house where his daughter Mayme found him upon her return. He sufferd a fractured hip and also fractured several ribs. Mr. McCarty reached the roof with the aid of a ladder and took a camp chair with him which is supposed to have closed when he stood on it, causing him to lose his balance. On account of his age, 93 years, his recovery is doubtful.
