Mrs. Anderson Breaks wrist


Mrs. Mary Anderson had the mis-
fortune to break both bones of her
wrist, Sunday morning. She STEP
ped out on the porch at her home,
not knowing 1t was icy, when the
accident occurred. Owing to the
condition of the hill, the doctor
could not drive it in his car, so
Mrs. Anderson was taken to the
Clark home, at the foot of Poplar
Ridge hill. The run had backed up
there and the doctor walked the
icy trestle with the water rushing
below, which is another instance to
prove that although the days of the
hardy pioneers have passed, courage
and loyalty to duty have not pass
ed with them. The fracture was re-
duced and Mrs. Anderson was soon
resting at home. Her many friends
are all hoping for her speedy and
complete recovery.
