FELL PARALYZED ON THE STREET.
Miss Nellie Burns Had No Warning
of Coming Affliction.
When a young woman fell on Tracy avenue between Eight and Ninth streets about 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, it was at first believed that she had fainted. The ambulance from police headquarters was called, and Dr. W. L. Gist examined her. She had been suddenly paralyzed on her left side. She gave the name of Nellie Burns, 21 years old, and said she lived at 21 South Mill street, Kansas City, Kas. She has been employed at the Swan laundry, 556 Walnut street. She said she felt weak and fell. That was her first intimation of trouble. Miss Burns refused to go to the emergency hospital, and was taken home by a man who had stopped in an automobile.
"It is a most unusual case," said Dr. Gist. "It is not unusual that persons should become suddenly paralyzed, but it is extremely unuual that a young woman 21 years old should be so afflicted.
