THROWN FROM A HAND CAR

Last Monday, while going down Rice
Hill, Thos. J. Driver. employed by the
railroad company, with his wife and
two children, were thrown from .
hand car and all more or less seriously
injured near John Longs place. The
hand car was on tho down grade and
going at rapid rate when q hog
sprang from the bushes near by at
tempted TO cross the track in front of
the car. The car struck the hog,
threw 1t to one side, and then jumped
off. When the car struck the hog, all
on board were violently hurled to the
ground. Mrs. Driver was literally
scaiped-the scalp being turned back
from the forehead an inch or two She
also sustained two cois in the face
lone on each cheeky reaching to the
bone. The doctor says she will recov-
er, but is fearful that the injuries sus-
tanned may in the future continue to
affect her brain. Mr.. Driver was cut
about the face and body, aud though
severely injured, will ultimately re-
cover. One of the children-a little
girl-since the accident, has remained
almost entirely paralyzed, and her
case is considered extremely serious.
The other child was badly bruised.
Thos. Driver and his family are gener-
ally esteemed and respected in the
county. and our people pray for their
recovery. They are in good hands,
and will receive the nursing and care
10 necessary 10 them.
