FOURTEEN YEAR OLD BOY BADLY INJURED FRIDAY.

Right Leg and Arm Broken When Wheels of Wagon Heavily Loaded With Wood Passed Over Him.

Addison Clayton, 13 years of age last May, and who for the past four years has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Makeever, of Newton township, sustained a broken arm, a broken leg and some other slight tyruises Friday at about noon. He had accompanied a farm hand to the woods for a load of wood and was riding on the load. As the wagon neared the house he endeavored to change his position oil the wood and fell off. Apparently he fell so that only the rear wheel passed over him. It ran across his arm and right leg, breaking the arm above the elbow and the leg just below the "hip. He also, sustained other bruises but they were slight. He was picked up and taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Makeever, where the fractures were reduced as soon as a physician could reach there. As the lad is quite young it is probable that he wilt largely outgrow the injuries. Today he is resting nicely.
