hospital with a compound fracture
of the hip as the result of a coast
ing accident near his home Monday
afternoon. Five of his youthful play

eightfoot toboggan. The toboggan
got into a rut from which the
youngsters couldn' steer it. It gath

seeing that collision with hydrant
was inevitable, stood up and at
tempted to steer the toboggan away
with his leg
A cra-l followed that dumped all
six of the boys Carl was unable to
move and the other youngsters load

him home. He was rushed to the
Augusta General hospital Where an
examination showed compound
fracture of the hip.
Roland Mckay and Charles Davis
were bruised, but all the other lads
escaped with a shakingup. All are
pupils at the harrington school. 1t
will be some time before Carl will be
able to return to his class.
