Mary, the 5.year.old daughter of
W. S. Sutley, had her right knee bad
ly cut by coming in contact with the
sharp blade Of an ak while her bro.
ther was cutting wood last Friday
evening. Neither of the children
can explain just how the accident
happened. A cash about % inches
long and quite deep was cut just be-
low the cap of the knee, making a
bad wound. Drs. Morrow were
called and rendered the necessary
surgical relief, and they believe the
child will not necessarily be crippled
by the injury.
John Wilson, who lives just
across the line in Venango county,
near Stewards Run, met with pain.
fol accident yesterday afternoon,
while unloading ties from a wagon at
the railroad station at this place.
Three ties rolled off the wagon and
caught his right foot, crushing the
ankle bones badly. He was brought
to DR.. Morrow's Office where the frae.
ture was reduced, leaving him as
comfortable as possible under the
circumstances, but from the nature
of the injury it may be a long time
before he is able to bear his weight
on that foot. Mr.. Wilson earns his
living by hard work, and this injury
will thus be doubly severe on him.
