his team and pitched it back on the
load, and attempted to get on and
place it more securely. From the
bank beside the road he stepped upon
the top of the hind wheel of the wag-
on, having his pitchfork in one hand
which he rested on the load. His
foot slipped from the wheel and he
came down upon the fork which must
have gone down before him tines up
ward. He found himself lying nearly |
behind the carriage with one of the
tines projecting several inches out
from about the middle of one cheek
probably entering through the mouth
and another tine passed entirely
through the neck. His neck was
pierced from side to side, back of the
windpipe and probably through or
near the esophagus, as it was very
difficult for him to swallow at first
He was alone, and reports that after
making unsuccessful attempts to push
the fork back from the side where it
came through; he clasped the fingers
Of both hands into the tines on the
other side, to draw it out, and after
two efforts with all the strength he
thought he had, he made up his mind
that it must come out, and with the
third effort it did come. He drove
his horse to the barn and took care
of him. He did not bleed at all, but
on going to the house was somewhat
faint. DR.. Farpsworth examined the
wounds carefully. His neck is very
sore, and he cannot turn his head
, much, or raise it from the pillow, also
his throat is sore.
