Deputy sheriff NJ. b. johnson suffered
q pain full, but we trust, not serious acct
dent, when returning home from the
Masonic Installation Lost week. Mr..
johnson was taking home load Of the
guests, they all being seated in the bottom
Of the sleigh, this being by far the warm
est way Of riding on that bitter cold night,
and after taking Mr.. and Mrs. Palmeter
to their home in safety, was turning
around when the sleigh ran up on snow
bank, overtu, nee, throwing its occupants
in a heap on the ground; fortunately
hurting no one except M. Johnson. HIS
limb, which was amputaied several years
ago by being caught in threshing ma
chine. was caught under the sleigh-box,
and the team being spirited one dragged
him Tor distance, he holding onto the
lines and finally stopping them. He
feared the limb was again broken, but DR..
Dodd who examined il, found that though
no, broken, it was badly bruised and
severely strained. Under the DOCTORS
sk,Iliul treatment, Mr.. Johnson is rapidly
improving. and we hope soon to see him
around looking after his business affairs
~ usual.
