wagon Beaverson had to allow the horses
to run down the hill. guiding them as best
he could with his right hand, while he kept
himself from falling off the hay by holding
to rope with his left hand. At the bot
tom of the hill Beaverson was jolted very
hard and lost his hold on the rope tumbling
forward to the ground, about fifteen feet
below He fell on his left foot and then
struck violently on his right side, being
rendered unconscious by the fall.
The patrol wagon was sent for and Bea-
verson removed to the receiving hospital,
where DR.. Hagan dressed his injuries. 1t
