brother Theo., were hauling saw logs from
the mountain and the former took hold Of
the wheel Of the wagon to aid in starting
It, when the horses gave sudden start and
he was thrown under the wagon the wheel
passing directly over ard dislocatng the
right shoulder. 1t was a narrow escape
from death, as, had the wheel passed over
his neck or head it would have been in
slant death as the wagon WAS very heavily
loaded with logs. Or. NJ. E. Leatlerman
rendered surgical aid and the patient is re
