BREAKS SANE KNEE

Consul General 8. G. Mcfarland, Of st.
Gall, switzerland, Slips on Polished
Hotel Floor, and Again Fractures
Same Leg Broken Last Fall at Lost
island ~ 10 Now in Hospital for In
definite Period.
A. letter received today by President
A. #. Balch, Of the Marshalltown State
bank, from Mrs. s. G. Mcfarland, at
st. Gall, Switzerland, gives the partic-
ulars Of the accident to- Mr.. McFar-
land announced in a recent cablegram to
the Associated Press from Paris. MI.
Mcfarland fell and again fractured the
same bones Of the right knee. broken
in an accident early last September.
when he fell while duck hunting at
Lost Island.
The accident happened on the even
ing Of Saturday, MayS18, at Hotel Ank-
ler little lakeside resort where MT.
and Mrs. Mcfarland and Miss Nc,
Farland had taken quarters because
there was nothing available in ST.
Gall. It has been necessary Tor MT.
Mcfarland, as result Of the accident
last fall. to use q cane since ne ais.
carded his crutches. The floor Of the
hotel lobby is OF highly polished wood,
and Mr. Netherlands cane slipped and
caused him to fall. Mrs. Mcfarland
and daughter tried to prevent him, fall
| ing, but they were unable to assist him
because Of his weight.
The bones Of the knee were broken
In exactly the same place as they were
in the Lost, Island accident. and Mr.
Mcfarland will be In the hospital for
several weeks. The surgeons claim
that 1t will require six weeks atfany,
rate to effect union, but they hold
out strong hope that, at the end Of
that time the bones will have properly
knitted, and that the recovery will be
permanent.
There is a probability that the Sec.
.ond accident will prove benefit, after.
all, altho 1t is pretty hard for Mr.. Mc-;
Farland to undergo the confinement
tust at this time, for he had hardly
got settled In his new post, and was
without vice consul. One Of the
fractured bones resulting from the
Lost Island accident had never proper,
ly healed and it was claimed by surg
cons at Reiehenberg that, before the
patient would ever have the full use
Of his leg, he would have to submit to
having the bones broken and reset. The
fall has done this. altho at very in
opportune time.
Mrs. Mcfarland writes that they
were compelled to seek a suburban
home for the present, because there
was not q single boarding place in all
st. Gall. In July Mr.. and Mrs Nc
Farland will take a small fiat in the
city and begin hOusekeepiMr
