 AS Mrs Leroy Meeker of Cross High way, accompanied by her daughter Mrs H. R. Elwood, was driving one day last week in the direction of Col eytOwn, her horse encountered de- fective piece of road bed and got stuck in the mud, which caused it to plunge and finally throw itself in the rl1t. Mrs Meeker was badly frightened and de- cided to jump from the wagon. In do- ing so she sustained severe injuries, one of her legs being twice broken. Dr Rutland of Westport was called to attend her and after much difficulty succeeded in reducing the fracture. There was some delay in getting the surgeon and the limb was very badly swollen when he arrived, making the doctors task an unpleasant one. Mrs Meeker is now resting comfortably, but it will be long time before she will be able to resume her household duties.
