Madam Von Yette Injured When She Slips on Icy Pavement.
RIDGEFIELD, Wash., Jan. 16.---(Special.)---The icy pavement on Main street caused Madam Von Yette of Portland, teacher of voice and piano, to break her left arm after she had stepped from the automobile stage, operating between the postoffice and depot here, to the hard-surfaced road in front of the grocery of S. E. Layne. She was removed to the Henrici hospital.
