quest. He couldn't buy liquor there,
but ore of the mattresses said: u

started a search. They finally got
two short pints." which were drawn

to Albert, who in turn handed them
over to Ward. Then they returned
to the restaurant, opened one of the
bottles and had a drink-at the same
time giving a drink to the friendly
waitress.

A STRENUOUS
EXPERIENCE

Horse Falling, Goes Three
Miles Afoet To Get Home

Yesterday "The Oasis" stated that
Mr.. B. F. Cason, the cattleman who
has a rancho and range out In the
vicinity of Thumb Butte, at the south
end of the Atascosa mountains, on
the Montana Camp road, had suffered
a broken collar bone by being thrown
from a horse.

were far more serious than describ-
ed. He has broken leg as we'll as a
broken collar bone.
The accident occurred Sunday. Mr..
Cason was riding gentle horse, but
the animal was unshod, with tender
feet. He stumbled, and Mr.. Cason
held up his head by drawing on the
bride rein. But on the right side the
rein slipped out from the bit ring,
causing the riders action to draw
the horses head to the left. That
threw the animal off from balance
and he fell heavily, catching Cason's
left leg. The shock left the rider un-
conscious, in which condition he must
have laid several hours. When he re-
covered consciousness the horse had
wandered away.
Then Mr.. Cason, with broken leg
and broken collarbone, made hi!
way home, distance of three miles
arriving late in the afternoon. Hi
thought he had been out all night.
After dark Mrs. Cason went out and
found the horse and saddle, which
she took home.
Monday the injured man felt tot
weak to move, so he laid in bed al
day. Tuesday, with his wife, he came
into town with their machine, Mr.
Cason driving the car all the way
fifteen miles, with one hand and arm
Yesterday the broken leg and collar
bone were set, and the patient is
resting easily.
