happened Friday morning while Evelyn

and Mrs, Robert Bashaw. going
to school. The team in which she was
riding met the Manning team conveying
the cover Of the wood-shed formerly
owned by Towne and Knowles to the
Lowe farm. The roof hit telephone pole,
which pushed 1t over against the little
girl cutting two severe gashes in her
face Five stitches were taken on her
forehead and three on her lip. The little
girl has suffered a good deal and as she
) is something OF a cripple from infantile
D paralysis, the case seems particularly
s sad.
