Shock, hemorrhage and a punctured lung sustained when he fell down the stairway of the tower of the Great Northern railway caused the death of Mathew Strauss at St. James hospital on September 7, according to the findings of the coroner's jury at the inquest held yesterday. Everett Coe, townsman on the shift with Strauss, told of seeing the old man leaning against one of the posts supporting the tower and suddenly fall. Strauss was found on September 1. Mr. and W. H. Lyman took Strauss home in Lyman's car and had him on his bed. With the exception of Frank Simmons, who said the stairway was in one of the manner in which he was injured. According to Coe, the old man told him he fell down the last three or four steps of the tower as he was going home at the end of his shift on concrete flooring. It was attested by Dr. R. G. Nelson as the dead man's injuries at the inquest. James Lyman, W. F. Hall, Frank Simmons and William Garry were other witnesses at the inquest. --- ### Amusements **ANSONIA.** Romance and comedy mingle with comedy to make Harold Lloyd's new picture, "Batterscotch," "Git Along" at the Ansonia, a suitable introduction to this popular public laughing hit for this week. It was while making part of the continuation for this new production that Lloyd received the injury which many thought would end his career by depriving him of a large part of his head. While making this particular scene, Lloyd's directors, Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor tried to flag a Los Angeles-bound street car to stop. "It's very risky," they told him. "If something goes wrong, there's a chance that he himself would not recognize you, and that's exactly what happened — a woman leaping from a Los Angeles boulevard. His long white scarf blew in the breeze. A fractions five words get away from his directors, whirling him through the power across the forbead and causing him to lose his head. He could be no more seen lying at the Lloyd company who witnessed the accident thought he had gone, but fractured skull, but it was soon apparent that the fracture was very slight and not dangerous. Lloyd received immediate treatment and was able to resume work in time. It was several days before he recovered from the fall. Lloyd is known for his pluck, and it is a prominent part of the thrill accompanying his comedies. The gravity of the situation is said to be quite apparent from the screen. --- **TEMPLE THEATER** When Priscilla Dean began work on "The Siren of Seville," a popular serial which comes to the Temple theater Monday, she lost no time in casting her role, and the people she needed came true, for in this picture she is at her greatest — adventurous and dramatic. "The Siren of Seville" was written for the screen and adapted by H. H. Van Loan, and it gives great opportunity to Miss Dean. She is a Spanish senorita who loves and fights for that which is hers. The original story of the scenario as Van Loan was the author of "The Valley of the Giants." The staging is done in Seville, Spain, much is expected of this new Dean production.
