DR.. j. S. Lalone left for Fargo last
Wednesday and expected to return here
on Saturday. He accompanied Ovila
Chaput, who goes to st. Johns hospital
at that place, for the purpose of under
going an operation for appendicitis,
which the patient has been troubled

the doctor will have a good report to

A terrible and very near fatal acct
dent happened here on Friday morning,
when our blacksmith, Leon Lejeune,
had the whole of his right cheek torn
from the bone and both the upper and
lower jaws fractured by a horse tramp
ing on his head. The big 1900 pound
sorrel stallion, owned by James Span
gelo and others. stands in Olga over
Thursday night during the present sea
son, and early on Friday morning, Mr.
Mcneil, who handles the horse, wishing
to get the shoes on the front feet reset,
took the horse to Lejeune's blacksmith
shop to have the work done. Lejeune
had set the shoe on the left foot and
had started to work to trim the right
foot before setting the shoe. John Stain
thorp was in the shop and helped by
handing Lejeune the tools as needed.
! Suddenly the horse made an effort to
withdraw it's foot and Lejeune attempt
) ed to retain his hold. The horse made a
stronger effort and was successful in
! throwing the blacksmith underneath
j. his hind feet. Stainthorp did all he
could to help Lejeune out of the danger
Gus position he was in and Mcneil, who
had been holding the horse by the head

did all he could to prevent what follow

hind feet, shod with a heavy iron shoe
! came down on the side of the PROSTATE
mans face, barely missing the eye and
the ear and stripped the cheek of flesh
to the bone down to the chin. The
}, upper jaw was broken on both sides,
through the palate and across the
b bridge of the nose, SO that the whole
front of the face was only held in place
q by the flesh. There was also a bad
v fracture Of the lower jaw. The injured
man was hurried across the street to

complete recovery, the greatest danger
