as a tax ferret, and his wife we're both
injured in q runaway. the judge get
ting the worst Of it. Mr. and Mrs.

scared it so that it began to run and
kick. Both the occupants were thrown
out. Mrs Mccoy receiving only a
sprained ankle The judge, however.
was not so fortunate. Sometime since
when he was in Cuba he received an
injury to his back and when he fell
from the buggy he injured the same

worse than it otherwise would have
been. Judge Mccoy is better and 1t is
not thought that his injuries will prove
serious. The occupants OF the buggy
