Nit Parrott, was excused from his
duties at school, Tuesday afternoon,
and started on his way homeward and
had proceeded but a snort dis
lance when his leg, which had pain
ed him some before he started home,
began to hurt so he was obliged to
lay down by the roadside. His par
ents were informed of the trouble and
they drove over from their home in
Brayton and took him to the DOCTORS
office where he had his leg dressed.
The trouble seemed to be from a cut
received some time ago on a barbwire
and the wound had not thoroughly
healed and it commenced to get 80
much worse that it was very pain
full. VIZ hope that he will be all
right again in a few days.
