Accident.
On Sunday last, Mr.. Schjerden was
the victim of severe accident which
occurred at the Sank Centre House.
Mr.. Schjerden, who slept in the third
story, arose early in the morning be-
fore it was yet light, and when he
started to go down stairs he made a
mistake in his calculation as to where
the descent commenced and fell head
long to the bottom Of the stairway,
dislocating and breaking the shoulder
blade. The dislocated joint was set
and the fractured bone adjusted by
DR.. Palmer and in the course Of time,
Mr.. Schjerden will probably have a
shoulder nearly as good as new.
