LIFE OF HARD LUCK.
Louis DOaId Thrown from Horse and
Left for Hours in Cold.
@%~O~~~N~%

Left for Hours i'm Cold.
Louis Donald of Baraboo had what
probably will be his last piece of i'll luck
the other day. 1t seems as if misfortune
has controlled his destiny from childhood.
He has had every conceivable sort of
minor accidents. Some years ago he was
hunting and by the accidental discharge
of his rifle his right arm was shot off.
Later he was riding on a railroad train
when it collided with another and in the
wreck he lost an eye. A few days ago
he was thrown from his horse, several
bones were broken, and he was nearly
frozen to death from lying on the ground
three hours. There is little chance of
his recovery.

owners and well-to-do classes will
prefer to continue the present regime.
