which the bones in his left wrist were all
fractured. He was in the stable and laid his
hand on the hip of one of his horses, the ami
NAL turned suddenly to go out the stable
and caught Mr.. WIS arm between itself and
another horse. The pressure was such, and
in a way that he was forced around, and his
arm, as lever falcrumed on the hip of a
horse, was subject to pressure that snapped
the bones in his wrist.-Advocate.
