serious and regretable accident Friday
morning. He had started to drive to
town; had opened the gate at the farm
and driven the horses thru and was
hardly again seated in the buggy when
one of the horses jumped forward. At
this a single tree broke, letting the
! tongue drop and as by this time the
/, horses had started to run, the buggy
was tipped over and Mr.. Furguson
thrown out. He fell in such a
as to break his leg, which was af-
ficted with white swelling at the
knee, just below the knee. DR.. Wolfe
was called and at once took the pa
tient to Carroll in his auto to the ST.

Herman Hansen, of the firm of Nell
son & Hansen, implement dealers of
Kamrar, and J. r. Enlow, a travelling
salesman for the King G. Hamilton i'm
plement house of Ottawa, ILL.,, had a
narrow escape from serious injury or
possibly death when an automobile
which they were driving became un-
manageable and plunged into a barbed
wire fence. The steering gear broke
loose from the front axle and the car
made a bee line for the fence. The fence
had formerly been a willow hedge
which had been cut and part of the
stumps left standing for fence posts
to which to fasten the barb wire. The
machine struck one of these stumps
and threw the occupants into the air
over the fence, and they landed on the
) ground with great force.
