We found DR.. l.. j. Crooker. yesterday, upon
many helpless invalids-and in the most in
tense pain. He was called out early Yesterday
morning, to attend patient on Cushuoc Heights.
His horse was hArnessed into the road wagon, and
he drove down State to Bond brook street-for
once in his life driving quite carefully. When
opposite W illisms & Co.'S blacksmith shop, and
while looking in the direction of the factory, he
noticed his carriage was settling. The nut fssten-
ing one of the wheels to the axle had come of.
letting off the wheel, and throwing the Doctor out
of the carriage. When he picked himself up, he
found that he was entangled in the spokes of the
wheel that had come of. He went to arise, and
speedily came to the conclusion that his left leg
was broken, and that his strength was pretty well
exhausted. In falling, his toe had probably caught
between the spokes, and the foot acting as lever,
had caused the accident. The horse frightened BY
the axle humping against his legs, kept on to
the factory, where he was easily captured, with
out any damage to animal or carriage. The
doctor WAS brought home and his leg splintcred
and dressed. 1t was found that he had suffered
fracture Of the outside bone of the leg, and
the breakage Of the processes on the inside, the
liagments being badly quite badly torn. At the
present time the wounded member causes DR..
Croker considerable pain, but relief will come
speedily, aud he expects in the course of two or
three days, to be up on crutches, about the Of
flee, to consult with patients who may call on
him.
