justing the reel chain In front Of the
sickle. He was unaware of the ma
, chine being in gear and the horses
surged ahead, probably from the ag-
gravation Of flies. and this set the sick
lie in motion and he was severely
slashed in several places about the legs
below the knees. He was brought to
town to DR.. Scripture who dressed the
wounds.
