LeDANE, Miss Daisy

"GIRL IS IN COMA FOR TWO WEEKS-
Ridgely - Young Blind Woman in Peculiar Trance-A strange case in which a girl lies in a coma is attracting, because of the peculiarities of the case, the attention of the doctors of the town.
While visiting her sister, Mrs. E. M. Heber, 18 North Lee Street, Miss Daisy LeDane, a young blind woman of Ridgely, W. Va., fell down the steps and was rendered unconscious. The accident occurred on the first of February, nearly two weeks ago, but the girl has not regained consciousness. Though in a state of unconsciousness, the young woman is very susceptible to mental suggestion. She seems to understand what is being said, but is unable to make any response. When examining for the extent of her injuries, Dr. Simonton noticed a slight bruise on the arm. He remarked to a person standing nearby, "There is a slight bruise here." Immediately the arm became stiff as though suddenly paralyzed. Other noticeable examples of mental suggestions have occurred.
MADE BLIND BY FALL
The peculiar part of the case comes from the fact that when about ten years old Miss LeDane lost her sight from injuries received in a fall. Although blind since ten years of age, her eyes have the same look as those of a person will full sight, and the strange part of the present case is that since her fall the eyes apparently have some sight restored to them. When her eyelids were raised by the physician, it was noticed that the pupils would dilate and contract when light was placed near or taken from her face, the change being most marked. This leads some of the eye specialists to think that the last fall may have restored her sight in part at least. Miss LeDane is now about 28 years old.
MISS LEDANE SUCCUMBS
Miss Daisy LeDane died at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon at the home of her sister, Mrs. E. M. Heber, 18 North Lee Street. Her condition became worse this morning and after sinking into total unconsciousness, her pulse became weaker, and death came quietly and painlessly. The funeral of Miss LeDane will take place Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock with interment in Rose Hill Cemetery."

LEE, John

Eckhart, Md., Aug. 4. - Mr. John Lee, aged 25, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Lee, Sr., of Eckhart, who was very seriously injured yesterday noon in Brophy's low vein mine, died at 12:30 o'clock, last night.  The young man was engaged in running the electric motor that bank the cars at the mine. He was running the electric motor in an old working.  When he came to the trap door on the road he slowed down the motor and jumped off and ran ahead to open the trap door so the motor could pass through.  He either did not judge the distance between the door and the motor or probably has some trouble in getting the door open and thus lost time.  At any rate, the electric motor that he had left, coming slowly toward him caught up to him at the trap door before he got it open and he was caught between the ribs of the mine, doorway and motor, and badly squeezed about the abdominal regions, and otherwise scratched and bruised externally.  A large iron nail punctured his lungs. The young man was conveyed to his home, where Dr. Cobey, of Frostburg. and Dr. Cromwell, of Eckhart, rendered surgical aid. Miss Rose McDermott, of Mt. Savage, a trained nurse, attended him.  What makes the affair more sorrowful is that the young man's mother, who has been ill for some time, is prostrated over the death of her son.

Funeral of Mr. Lee.
No death for many a year in Eckhart has caused so much sympathy to be shown, nor such crowds to turn out, as was that in the case of Mr. John Lee, who was buried this morning from St. Michael's Catholic Church in the Catholic cemetery. The funeral was an exceptionally large one which fittingly showed the esteem in which the young man and his folks are held.
