were put in the wagon and young Herd
man, thinking he would have Il ride,
crawled upon the top Of the highest box.
In coming over the rough streets the
boxes were Jared about, and in crossing
over the pavement into Mr.. Cornog $
ward the box upon which the lad was
sitting started to slip off. He endeavor-
ed to catch himself, but the wagon turned
very shortly and he was thrown to the
ground, the heavy box upon which he
had been seated falling about six inches
from his head The 1all, however, was
sufficient to render the boy unconscious,
and many thought at first that the box
in falling had struck the boy. He was
carried into the store of Stephen CorncS
and medical aid given him. lie regained
consciousness, however, in short time,
and was sent to his home. His head
and face were cut and his body badly
bruised.
