Jefferson Haines who received serious
injuries from an unfortunate fall while
trimming trees three months ago, had
another similar experience last week. He
stepped on a loose board in the side walk
and was precipitated head-long, his face
striking the boards. Since his fall last
winter by which one arm bone was frac-
tured and the other arm badly sprained,
he has been unable to wear a coat, and
uses a shawl When he fell last week his
arms were folded under the shawl and they
were not available to break the force of
the fall, which was probably very fortu-
nate, as i'll their present condition might
have received fresh and serious injury
The last fall was sufficiently hard to cause
acute pal nbut not a sufficient shock to
cause any permanent injury.
