An unwise experiment.

John Barnes, of Pleasant Valley
came to the city On Saturday in a bug
gy drawn by n colt. He had been
afflicted for some days with a painful
attack of rheumatism. and SO while
here took some medicine to relieve
the pain which proved to be an over
dose. and while effective in measure
went to his head as well. He took a
quantity Of the same along In a jug
to complete the experiment of its
curative virtue at home. He procured
a broom. a melon and some other ar
ticles and late in the day started on
lis way. The last seer of him was
on the hill, with lines down and whip
ping the colt either for speed or to test
which would give out first, the
strength in his arms from whipping,
or in the legs Of the colt from rum
ming. Upon reaching the bridge be.
tween II. w. B. Minnear's and Aaron
Satterfield's, he landed too near one
edge OF 1t so that only two wheels
kept on while the other two ran off
the end throwing him violently out,
cutting a bad cash in his forehead,
brazing the side of his face and break
ing n leg in two places, the bone of
one fracture protruding al inch or
two outside Of the flesh. After pass.
ing over the bridge the buggy righted,
with which the colt RAJ on to Mr.. Mil
ler's, where 1t struck some trees
breaking the shafts loose with which
the colt still ran on until 1t reached
Davis where 1t stopped. being found
without a scratch. The buggy also
still contained the Jug and melon in
tact, having lost out only the broom
and driver. Mr.. Barnes on being
found was carried to Mr.. Satterfield's
near by, and an ambulance ordered
from the Cook Hospital which was
soon on the ground accompanied by
DR.. Hall. The injured man was yet
SO dazed in mind that he disclaiinel
being seriously hurt or having his leg
broken, and refused to be taken to the
hospital. and SO the doctor dressed
the fractures as best he could there.
and returned with the ambulance.
Other friends learning of Mr.. Barnes
misfortune soon arrived, and seeing
the extent Of the injuries inflicted.
'phoned for the return of the ambu.
lance yesterday, and by stern per.
suasion compelled him to submit to
their better judgment. and finally re.
moved him to the hospital, where he
is doing fairly we'll at present, but with
weeks of experience ahead that will
cause him to regret more than once
tie unwise experiment of speeding a
colt under the lash of the whip with
out a firm grip on the lines at the
same time by which 70 guide its
course.
