how, IS, happened can best be
learned from the injured man when
he is strong enough to give the in
formation, but as yet he lays in a
very weak state.
Or. Bates, the Sauntry physician
being out of town at the time, DR.
Lenont was called upon and pro
ceeded to the scene of the accident
finding Mr.. $Cobean conscious but
in much pain sustained from the
shock, one truck having passed
over his body. The injured mar

amined and dressed, and it was
found that a confusion of the lef
upper leg, a bone broken in thu
right upper leg and a compound
fracture of the arm near thu
shoulder was sustained. The bone
of the lower left leg was also brok
en-.
The patient was in critical con
dition all day yesterday, and DR.
Bates states, at the time of going t.
press, that he is very hopeful O
bringing Mr.. Cobean out of dange1
of loss of limbs or life, but that HI
has very weak man under his carr
as can be judged by the serious
ness of the injury.
Mrs, Cobean had written a lette
to her husband few days ago. ant
# was by calling for his mail tha
her address was secured and sh'
was telegraphed for, it being ex
pected that she will arrive her

Canada.
It is the earnest wish of Mr.. Co
beams many friends here that D1
Bates statement will prove true ant
that he will again be among u
