Volley Adams, who is 94 years of age, fell upon the curb on Citrus avenue Saturday evening and sustained a fracture of the hip. He was assisted home by Wm. M. Tisdale and S. Alder, who happened along at the time he fell, and was attended by Dr. Blythe. While the fracture in itself was not severe, yet it is likely to be a serious matter in so old a man.
