JOHN BROWN SERIOUSLY
 INJURED IN SCOTLAND
Found in Unconscious Condition Un- der His Horse-In St. Joseph's Hos- pitaI. .-

John Brown of Chaplin lies in a se- rious condition at St. Joseph's hospi- tai with dangerous head wounds as the result of a peculiar accident in Scotland Wednesday evening near the home of George Rich. He was found by Christopher Erheten and Robert Brown about 7.30 under the horse he was driving, unconscious, and badly cut about the face. His face and head were badly cut and his head was nearly torn from his body, probably by blows inflicted by the horses hoofs- When he was found one of the horses legs was lying on him while another was near his face and he was tangled in the reins. Erhe- ten and Brown had to lift the horse off of him and immediately called up Dr. Guild who told them to take him directly to the hospital in their auto truck. As soon as- they arrived Brown was placed on the operating table in an effort to save his life, Drs. Girouard and Simonds operating. He was found to have deep and danger ous cuts on his head and probably a fractured skull.
 How the accident happened and the exact time is not known since no one was in the vicinity when it happened. He probably fell over the dashboard of the wagon which is broken, talk ing the reins with him. He became entang1ed in the reins and threw the horse down on top of him. The horse probably kicked him while trying to get free and in doing so broke the shaft. The horse did not seem to be injured and broken shafts and dash board was the extent of the damage to the wagon which was not even tip ped over The injured man lived in Scotland. He is of a rowing disposi- ton and worked most of the time on saw mills. He was identified by his sister.
