Tuesday morning, Mr.. George Jenkins
sustained most painful and possibly
a permanent injury to his shoulder.
He was driving Mr.. ]. D. Ragan and
family to Dallas in hack. At the
Bradley corduroy hill the road was 80
rough and heavy that vehicles sought
an easier way by driving around it
through the timber. In this side-way
the low axle struck a stump too high
to pass over, with the result that a
break occurred by which the horses
were. detached from the vehicle. The
sudden impact, with the jerk of the
reins, threw George violently over the
dashboard, landing him upon his shoul-
der. The bones in or about the socket
ljoint were broken, and has caused him
excruciating pain ever since. He
suffers intensely.
