q broken collar bone, the result of fall
while skating down Blakely street over
a week ago. He, with a number of
companions, was enjoying the skating
which the sidewalks offer, when strik-
ing a bare patch on the sidewalk he
was thrown forward with considerable
force, striking against a pole. No at
tentiOn was paid to the fall as It was
supposed to be a mere toss which would
be forgotten in a few minutes In
stead of it turning out that way, how
ever, the pain in the shoulder cOntin-
ued to increase until it was deemed
best to summon a physician. DR.. Gar
vey was called in Sunday evening, and
after an examination found the collar
bone broken. He Immediately applied
bandages, etc, to relieve the suffering
boy until yesterday morning when the
broken bone was set. The injury, while
still very painful will cOnfine him to
his home for several days only.
