Jacob Bussard, a son of Sher
man Bussard, of the Frost commu-
nifty, had thrilling experience
Saturday night, resulting in a bro
ken leg and other serious injuries,
but withal, a marvellous escape
from awful death.
= He had just returned from the
store at Frost and alighted from
his horse to open the bars leading
to the house. Just as his one foot
touched the ground, the other in
the stirrup, his horse took fright
and jumped the bars, dragging the
ride with it. Mr.. Bussard's left
leg was stiff-the result of white
swelling and it was the foot on this
leg that was fast in the stirrup. The
horse ran to the house and back to
the barn-the distance we did not
learn--and when near the barn the
unfortunate mans leg broke and
the foot was released.
Medical aid was at once sum-
moned and the victim of the terrible
accident made as comfortable as
possible. The full extent of his IN
juries could not be determined at
once.
