Among the Sick and Injured

Little Mildred Terhaar fell off
horse last Friday evening and broke
a bone in her wrist, which will lay
her up for a couple of weeks.
Miss Clara Humphrey was quite ill
the latter part of the week with an
attack of appendicitis but is getting
along nicely under the care of DR..
Turner and will escape an operation
for the present at least.
DR.. Shinnick returned Monday
evening from Lewiston where he had
been for several days taking treatment
for an attack Of ptomaine poisoning.
He is still rather shaky but will soon
be entirely over the attack.
DR.. Orr, assisted by DR.. Stockton
of Grangeville, performed a major
operation on Mrs. Mary Huerter, a !
niece of Herman Funke, at the Funke
home east of town on Monday. The
patient is doing as nicely as could be
expected.
Jess Mckinley got kicked by a
horse the first of the week and had
the bone in his right arm cracked and
was knocked unconscious for O. short
time. The horse was sharp shod and
his escape from serious injury was
fortunate.
Johanna Kopczynski, who was so
dangerously i'll last week that her life
was despaired of for several days, is
on the high way to recovery at this
writing and will soon be up and
around again, fact which brings Joy
g to the many friends Of the young lady
and her family.
Little Will Randall had the mis-
fortune to fall and break his arm
while at play in his home late last
week. 1t is the same arm that was
broken twice before and the break is
at the same place, which may pre-
vent the bone from knitting as
rapidly as could be wished.
5 George, the little son of F. j. Kol-
2 beck, had one of his eyes seriously in
l jured sunday by being hit with a
! small arrow which had been shot from
| bow by another of the children.
! Just as the arrow was discharged
George turned around and was hit in
the eye, the arrow penetrating the eye
ball and making serious wound. DIR.
Turner dressed the injury and the
child will get along all right unless
inflammation should develop.
> Frank Kelsey had the misfortune
to get thrown quite heavily while en-
gagged in playing a game at the K. C.
picnic near the Monastery Sunday
I afternoon and suffered broken collar
bone. He later drove his car to town
/ and had Dr. Turner reduce the tract
| ure and is now working as best he
may left-handed but finds it rather
hard to get along without the use of
the good old right wing. However,
he was fortunate in getting off as he
| did, for the fall could very easily have
resulted much more seriously.
1 Fred West had narrow escape
from serious injury Sunday when his
team was crowded off the Mcpherson
grade by a motorcycle and the rig
was overturned, throwing Mr.. and
Mrs. West and two children down
the hill into the fence. Mr.. West
had the clothing torn off his back by
the wire and struck against a post
with one shoulder, bruising it quite
badly and laying him up from work
for the week. Mrs. West and the
children escaped with slight shaking
up. The grade was quite narrow
where the accident occurred and the
cyclist should not have tried to pass
the team. As he crowded in between
the team ard bank the horses whirled
from the grade and overturned the
rig, after which they dragged the
driver for about fifty feet before COM
ing to stop. The accident could
easily have resulted so much more
seriously that Mr.. West is feeling
fortunate in getting off as easily as he
did.
