IS DOUBLY INJURED
In Going for Relief, Young Man
Is Thrown From Horse.

Glen Cameron, young farmer OF
Adams township, who has been shuck-
ing corn for Ira Toll on the George
Nash place northeast of town, met
with a painful and serious accident
Wednesday evening that retires him
from circulation for a number of
weeks. Cameron had sprained a wrist
and jumped on a spirited horse to go
after a remedy. The animal became
unmanageable on the highway, and
at a disadvantage on account of his
wrist, the rider was thrown to the
ground, striking upon his face and
head. A great cash was cut along the
face under the eye and the face and
head generally received scratches
and bumps. The injured man, half
conscious, managed to get to the Geo
Ruby place, where he tried to stop the
flow OF blood. In a dazed condition
he continued on his way to the Yves
Ruby home, where his wounds were
bound up and he was taken to his
home to receive the attention of a
surgeon. No less than seven stitches
were required to close the wound un
der the eye.
1t is likely that the face will be-
slightly disfigured for life.
Cameron was nervy and endured
his punishment without flinching. he
is badly bruised about the body and
shoulders and will be unable to worE
for many days.
