"A Bad Accident.

Last Friday morning M. p. Jenness
pitched up his team and started Tor the
woods after load of logs. After he had
got the load nearly all on he concluded
to haul out one log more, and took one
of the horses off the load to draw it out
with. While hitching the chain, the
horse started and snapped the chain
hook into his leg about four inches from
his body. Morrill, tried to stop the horse,
but could not until she had drawn him
three or four rods; then he saw if she
once got into the main road she would
run for home and it would be sure death
for him. So as the horse was dragging
him down the log path he caught hold
Of an old stump and hung for his life.
After the horse had pulled two or three
times he managed to stop her and took
the hook out of his leg. Morrill, got his
team hitched and started home before
help arrived. The doctor found very
bad wound; the hook was drawn under
the cords of the leg so much that it
would have been impossible to have
drawn through. Morrill, has suffered
terribly since then, but at the present
writing is feeling little better. There
are but very few men with pluck enough
to hang to stump and let a horse pull
on them, but Morrill, said he saw at
once he must hang on or it was certain
death for him. The chain was so frosty
it took flesh with it,
