Joseph PivOnkn Badly Hurt.
The developments in the case of Joseph
Pivonka who fell from an Albright car
Saturday night, show that he was more
seriously hurt than was thought at first.
The concussion was quite severe and the
rupture of some of the blood vessels of the
ear may prove q serious complication. 1t
is feared that blood clot may develop on
the brain. Should this occur the case will
be serious indeed. DR.. w. j. McCrann
stated Sunday that the case was much
more serious than he had thought.
