Mrs. Wm. Lieb, w ife of th e publish­
er of the Record, sustained a fractu re
of tHe Skull and contusion of the brain
by jum ping from the car her husband
was driving in from L iberty a t about
6:45 last Sunday evening'.
’ Before leaving L iberty for home Mr.
Lieb discovered one of th e external
b rake bands on his car broken, and be­
ing unable to g e t i t repaired there, he
decided to come home and descend the
hills on low g ea r and compression in
th e engine cylinders. . The long hill aft
the Loomis sanatorium annex was the
first one of im portance to descend, and
he p u t the clutch in second speed and
th rew off'the spark. When ju st below
the annex building Mrs. Lieb, no doubt
fearin g th a t the car would g e t beyond
control, w ithout w arning opened th e
fore door of the car and stepped out on
the le ft side.* Though the car was not
moving fa st she was throw n off her
fe e t and fell headlong in th e ditch.
H er sister, Miss Louise Himmelreich,
and friend, Miss Mollie Lynch, of New
York, who occupied the re ar seat, re ­
m ained in the ear, which was stopped
a t the foot of th e first pitch.
Mrs. Lieb was found unconscious in
th e ditch w here she had fallen, w ith a
large sw elling on h er le ft forehead.
Hdr head had evidently come in contact
w ith a rock in the ditch. Medical aid
was summoned from the sanatorium ,
and Dr. Jam es A. O’Reilly, the resi­
dent physician, accompanied tth e in­
jured woman to her home in a car from
th e annex, while Mr. Lieb followed
w ith his ear. The local physicians
here were also summoned, b u t th e ex ­
te n t of th e injuries coula n o t be deter­
mined until Monday m orning, when an
operation w as deemed advisable.
The services of Dr. Howard Moss,
surgeon of the Jam aica H ospital, who
happened to be in town over Sunday,
w ere enlisted, and w ith the assistance
of Drs. Gain and LaValley of' this vil­
lage he perform ed a successful trep h in ­
ing operation a t th e Lieb home a t 10
o’clock Monday morning. Misses Car­
rie H ofer and K atherine H. Seheidell,
trained nurses home on vacation from
th e Long Island College H ospital,
were also drawn into service. The pa­
tien t Stood th e operation nicely, and

self splendidly. She shows rem ark a­
