Serious Accident.

Last Saturday, the 18th, Kenna, the
l6year old son of DR.. VIM. II. McClung,
OF Meadow Bluff district, this county,
got on his horse and went off about
half mile from his fathers residence to
feed some sheep. Having fed the
sheep he attempted to mount his horse
to return to the house. He had gotten
his left foot in the stirrup, when his
right slipped and he fell to the ground.
The horse became frightened and dashed

eral times, bruising him about the body
and legs and breaking his left leg very
badly just above the knee. After being
dragged about seventy yards the stir
rup leather fortunately broke, leaving
Kenna lying upon the ground utterly
helpless. The horse ran back to the
house, and seeing him without his
rider, DR.. McClung, fearing that his
son had met with an accident, fastened
to the field. He found Kenna lying
helpless on the ground as stated, took
him TO the house and set the leg, which
was so badly broken that it hung sim.

be moved in any position. Kenna,
without the use of an anasthetic, stood
the operation like a man, and we hear,

expected.
