Mr.. Andrew w. Carey has just received
a letter from his son Samuel, who is at
Colorado Springs, Col, that is very graft
flying to Mr.. Carey's family. A short time
since Samuel was ordered by his physi-
clan to take up his residence in Colorado
on account Of his enfeebled condition.
Being of a very active temperament it was
natural for him to engage in some kind of
employment, hence he located with some
friends on a large cattle ranch. About
three weeks ago, he, in company with the
other men on the ranch started with their
horses to corral a large herd of cattle. His
horse was going at full run when it
slipped and fell pinning him beneath it.
When the horse was removed it was found
that Mr.. Carey's leg had been broken in
three places and he was otherwise badly
crippled. He was removed to the St
Agnes Hospital at Denver. In his letter
Mr.. Carey states that he expects to be
discharged from the hospital soon, on
crutches, but the surgeon tells him that
the union is SO complete that he will not
have stiff leg. Samuel is one OF the
most popular young men raised in this COM
munity and his friends all rejoice at the
good news.
