on his way to the woods with his sons in q
four-horse wagon he was thrown head first into
one of the rear wheels. his head catching be-
tween the spokes and locked the wheel. In
this position he remained for several minutes,
with the horses going at brisk trot. The
team was stopped as soon as possible ana the
injured man taken out. He was unconscious
and his head and neck was badly twisted. His
sons placed the head in normal position and
held it thus until DR.. X. C. Wells, of Hamp
stead, arrived. He placed the head and neck
in plaster cast. On close examination 1t was
found that the second and third cervical verte
brae had been fractured and it was feared the
patient had sustained other internal injuries
After several hours Mr.. Fowble regained con-
seriousness, and then it was found that he was
partly paralyzed on the right side and suffer
ing great pain. 1t is a miracle that the man
was not instantly killed.
