Lewis. With him was his assistant, Leroy Thompson. Thompson was making delivery when Hurlbert fell, and when he returned he saw him stopping over and picking up a number of spilled parcels.
 Thompson did not realize that his friend had a broken arm until he collapsed under the pain. Then he went into the home of MT. Lewis, where pr. Matthew Griswold was called He stayed there several hours and then went to his home. An x-ray picture revealed that his arm was broken.
 This was an unfortunate time for the carrier to break his arm as this is reported to be the most strenuous Christmas the Kensington post office has had Leroy Thompson continued the rounds of the carrier yesterday, and, not being entirely familiar with the route, was not through until o'clock.
