“Uncle Cain” Galbraith Received Bad Bruises in Hammond Monday.
A J. Galbraith, better known as "Uncle Cain,” was'fn Hammond Monday, where he had gone with John Cooper. That evening he fell at the main street crossing, having slipped on a banana peeling. His head struck on the edge of the sidewalk and he was rendered unconscious. He was removed to St. Margaret’s hospital and remained there until Thursday. He gave his correct name, but the hospital authorities misunderstood it and entered him on the hospital records as A. J. Gilbert. He received the best treatment at the hospital and came home feeling first class. A large cut on the back of his head shows how severely he was injured in the fall. He is 75 years of age.
