BERNE 

— While Ephraim S. Ball was driving along below the home of Charles E. Ball on Friday evening, something caught in his steering gear, preventing him from turning his wheels, carrying him off the bank in what is known as “The Maples.” Had it not been for the wire fence, he would have rolled down a 25 foot embankment. With the aid of a large truck and a body of men the car was gotten out, with only a bent axle and steering gear and a few scratches on the body, and taken to Williman’s Garage. Neither he or Mrs. Ball and their grandchild, who were with him, were hurt. 

— The rain of Friday was much appreciated by the farmers in this locality. Meadows and pastures were much in need of it. 

PASTOR ADSIT’S WIFE
DIES OF PNEUMONIA 

Mrs. Spencer M. Adsit, wife of the Rev. Spencer M. Adsit of Delmar, died late Wednesday night of pneumonia at the Albany Hospital, a few weeks after she arrived from the Pacific coast to be with her husband, who is also seriously ill at the hospital. 

Mr. Adsit, a former pastor of the Presbyterian churches in New Scotland and Voorheesville, was stricken while preaching in the New Scotland church about a month ago and was taken to the Albany hospital.
Mrs. Adsit and her daughter, Miss Marie C. Adist, were on the Pacific coast where Miss Adsit, who is an invalid, had gone for her health. Informed of Mr. Adsit’s illness, Mrs. Adsit and her daughter hurried home. Mrs. Adist was stricken with pneumonia soon after arriving. 

Mrs. Adsit’s daughter, Mrs. Charles W. Rush, was on her way from Indianapolis, leaving home when she learned of her mother’s illness.
