FELL FROM TREE George Burkett Was Badly Injured While at Play MAY BE CRIPPLE Leg Broken and Bone Protruded and Fastened in Ground i George Burkett, fourteen-year-son of Eli Burkett, living a mile and a half east of Honduras, was badly injured yesterday afternoon. The teacher of the school had given the children a half holiday and George, with a number of his playmates, had gone to the woods nearby to enjoy themselves. The boys were climbing trees and then bending them over and swinging to the ground. George went up a maple tree and when he took hold of the end of a limb and swung out his weight proved insufficient to carry him to the ground. He could not recover himself, and after hanging as long as his strength would permit, he let go and fell a distance of about eighteen feet. His left leg was broken between the knee and hip, the bone protruding and fastening itself in the ground to a depth of two inches. Drs. D. D. Clark and P. B. Thomas were summoned and did what they could for | the relief of the lad, but it is feared Ihe will be a cripple for life. There is also some danger of the bone not healing properly, and it may require many months of nursing. Mrs. Charles Hearn returned to Portland this afternoon after a pleasant visit with her son George. Her son accompanied Ler heme.
