Knee When Struck by Car.

Louis Alsager, rancher living on the
Boise avenue road, sustained a dislo-
Gated knee and number of minor
bruises when he was struck by Ford
car driven by George Fenton on Mon
day. Mr.. Alsager was standing on
the wheel of a spraying machine
watching the machinery work when
Mr.. Fenton was approaching in his
car. Mr.. Fenton honked his horn as
he approached. AS the car neared,
the agitator of the spray machine
splashed some of the liquid into Mr..
Alsager's eye and he jumped to the
ground right in front of the automo-
bile. Mr. Fenton swerved the car to
one side, but the fender knocked Mr..
Alsager down and tore his clothing.
He was brought to town at once by
Mr.. Fenton to receive medical atten-
tion and is getting along nicely. No
hlame is attached to Mr.. Fenton.
