painful accident one day last week
which has kept him out of school for
several days, and has caused him a
great deal of pain.
He started out to the hnme OF his
father on Clear Greek. riding horse
back, when the animal became unman-
agable and threw him of, kicking him
as he fell and inilicting an ugly wound
over the right eye which laid the flesh
open to the bone. His injury, while
exceedingly painful, is doing nicely
and no serious results are expected
He was indeed fortunate to escape so
luckily. The accident might easily
have proven more disastrous,
