LEG T RAG 7 u R Ed
Little Son of William Arnold Sus.
tains Painful Accident

By receiving a fall from a
hammock while swinging in the
front yard OF the residence on
Seventh street, George, the five
year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Arnold, received a fractur-
ed leg, one Of the bones above
the ankle of that member being
sprung out Of place. When the
little fellow was first hurt it
was not thought that any SER
ious result would follow, but as
he was unable to stand on his
leg and complained Of a dread
full pain a physician was sum-
moned and upon examination
found that the member had been
fractured. He set the injured
bone, and the patient is now on
the road to recovery.

serve, they decided that for the
present they would not file, and
turned the machine homeward
en- route by Minnewaukan.
Everything ran beautifully,
and the crowd was merry and
intoxicated by the speed of the
machine, until about eleven
o'clock in the evening when
they reached Graham's Island.
Then their troubles commenced,
for being evidently en- the wrong
road, an endeavor was made to
find a farm residence where the
inhabitants could right them as
to the different points of the
compass.
A5out midnight, nearly dis
couraged and with food craving
stomachs, they CHANGED to run
up to the farm home of John
Hunter, about eighteen miles
west of this city. Very inform
ally the man of the house was
awakened, and through the
goodness of his generous heart,
he pulled on a pair of socks and
| a few other necessary wearing
apparels, and came into the
yard. The rowing gentlemen
were informed that they were
at the above named farm place,
and, rather overriding the hos
pltality of good natured John.
they made known the lack of
food they had been laboring I'M
der, and forthwith nothing
would do but that they had to
go into the house and fill up.
Genial John fed them richly, in
fact 50 luxuriently that they all
threaten to return for another
feed."
But that was not all. As no
one knew the road leading home
the landlord of the island
farm insisted upon going wit h
them loI couple OIL miles uD-
til the main road was reached,
and then endeavored to alight
from the car and walk home.
Of course this he was not allow
ed to do. After returning Mr..
Hunter and thanking him heart
lily, the remaining run home
was made speedily and easily.
Mr.. Hunter has beautiful
farm of 400 acres, surrounded
and interlaced with luxurient
growth of timber. He has 300
acres in crop, all of which gives
promise of good returns. Per-
sonally, he is one of the best
! hearted and most considerate
residents of this county.
