Shortly after dinner yesterday there

uumanageable and commenced backing.

the cart into the engine, upsettlng the
cart and throwing the old gentleman
underneath the horse. When assistance
arrived they rescued the old gentleman
from his perilOus position and took him TO

found that both bones of his right arm
were broken and it was thought that his
hip was broken but the doctors could not
