Aged Newton Township Man Suffers a Broken Leg.

Barney DeWitt, 60 years of age, residing on a farm near Surrey, suffered a broken leg Monday. He was chopping wood when he slipped on the ice. The right leg was broken below the knee. As he has had a - running sore on that leg since he was 16 years of age, it is certain that the accident will go hard with him and possibly amputation will be necessary.
