helping in the field on her husbands
farm by driving a hay rake. The
team was scared and ran away and
dragged her about forty rods between

badly bruised and cut and had one
leg broken. In order TO give her the
best attention, she was brought to the
Waterfowl hospital the first of the
week, and her father tells us that she
is doing as we'll as could be expected.

has been done and the young man is

man who vas implicated in the deal,
is a John Bratman. who enlisted in

was taken. He vas more of a pas
