MIR. H. c. YEAGER HURT
Serious Incident of the Cowboy Par
 ade Yesterday.

MT. H. c. Yaeger, well known
 rancher and sheepman, aged 64, and having a town residence at the corner of Sixth and Monroe streets, was bad
 ly injured in a runaway accident or Adams street yesterday afternoon. For
 time it was thought his injuries might prove fatal, and they may yet
 have serious consequences.
 MT. YaeSer was driving an ordinarily
 gentle mare at a jog trot, when a band of cowboys came charging behind him,
 their hCrseS on the run, and each cow
 boy yelling after his own fashion. It
 was a sort of parade, preliminary to
 the steer-tying contest at the park,
 and the cowboys had no thought oi do- ing any harm. They came abreast of
 MT Yeager as he was crossing Center street, and the mare immediately took
 fright. and started on a gallop keep ing in the midst of the cowboys. They slackened their pace somewhat as they noted the efforts of the mare to run
 away, but before she had traversed the
 block between Center and First avenue she was entirely beyond MT. Yaegers
 control. and was running her best As the animal started to turn south on First avenue, one of the cowboys
 grasped the bit and attempted to stop her. and did stop her within a rod but
 the turn had been made too suddenly. | and Mir Yaeger was pitched from the I buggy to the ground. striking on his forehead. He must have landed on a
 small stone, as a ragged gash was cut in the middle of his forehead which extended to the bone. Judge Baker, who happened to be on the sidewalk | ran to the prostrate man and helped him to his feet and into McClrue's
 drug store, opposite which the acci- | dent happened. Dr. Foss was passing | by, and he took charge of the wound ed man, who had not lost conscious
 ness, strangely enough. The doctor drssed the wound while MT. Yaeger lay
 on cot which had been provided. It was found that there had been no fracture of the skull, and the doctor said the patient would recover unless there had been more concussion than
 he suspected, barring the possibility of | internal injuries. NIT. Yaeger com | plained of intense pains in his side, but this was attributed later to a
 wrenching of his back. He was con- veyed to his home shortly afterward, and last night was reported as resting
 as easy as could be expected.

A MYSTERIOUS GERM.

Burrows Up the Scalp Into Dandruh
 and Saps the Hairs Vitality
 People who complain of falling hair as a rule do not know that it is the result of dandruff. which is caused by a pestiferous parasite burrOwing up the scalp as it digs down to the sheath in which the hair is fed in the scalp. Be fore long the hair root is shriveled up and the hair drops out. If the work of the germ is not destroyed hair keeps thinning till badness comes. The only way to cure dandruff is to kill the germ. and until now there has been no hair preparation that would do it: but today dandruff is easily eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide, which makes hair glossy and soft as silk Sold by leading druggists. Send 10 cents in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co.,. Detroit. Michigan.
