John is now at the Mills hospita
under the care of Drs. Bacon ant
Akester, as the result of getting fec

tory to showing in bundles when il
some way he slipped and one foo
went into the knives of the ban,
cutter and was terribly cut up from
the knee down. Twenty stitche

and realized that he had been in
jured by the knives. He is nov
getting along nicely and ought to b
tout again in a short time.
