cock residence on the old Hawley road,
in Cherry Ridge township, the animal
stumbled and Mr.. Russell was thrown
over his head. He struck heavily on
his left side and the arm was very bad

he was able, however, to remount and
return to town unattended. On reach

anxiety OF the family and friends Of the
patient.
