he was not more seriously injured is due
to the intelligent assistance of a shepherd
dog. Mr.. Towslee was blowing some dis
lance from the house. The plowpoint
struck a hidden stone and the man was
thrown over the handles underneath the
heels Of the horses. He was so injured
that he was unable to extricate himself
and was in danger Of being tramped
under the hoofs Of the horses. Calling to
the dog that had accompanied its owner
to the field the man said go and get
Ned" No sooner had the command been
given than the dog started for the house
where his peculiar actions indicated to
Mr.. Towslee's son. Ned, that something
was wrong In the plowed field. The in
jured man was extricated from his
precarious position and has now nearly
recovered from his injuries. However.
there Is no dog for sale on the Towslee
