While soliciting orders on Monday,
Mr.. George w. Hagerthey met with an
other accident, the third in two and
one-half years. The horse was furi-
ously tormented by the flies, and it
seems as Mr.. Hagerthey was about to
enter the wagon or do something
about the harness the horse kicked,
hitting Mr.. Hagerthey and breaking
his leg just aboves the ankle. The
horse ran away but was stopped after
a short distance. Mr.. Hagerthey was
picked up and brought home by John
Sutton in his automobile. A physi-
clan responded promptly and on Tues
day noon Mr.. Hagerthey was removed
to the Atlantic City Hospital. 1t will
be remembered that on April 81, Mr..
Hagerthey was in an automobile acct
dent and has scarcely recovered from
it. Also in November of 1914 he was
accidentally asphyxiated by gas and
it was many months before he was
able to be about, although he has new
er entirely recovered from it's effects.
Furthermore on Wednesday while his
son Milton was driving home from
delivering feed, a valuable black horse
he was driving dropped dead while in
AAoi AtSRo' IL AAo1 u Cloll olll ~
his assistance and loaned him his
horse to drive home.
