D. C. Halstead Suffers Injury To Right Ankle by Fall of Horse.

D. C. Halstead, of Newton township, was injured this Wednesday morning when a horse he was riding fell on the brick pavement on the east side of the court house. His right leg was caught between the horse’s side and the pavement. He was able to gain his feet and to walk a short distance and then to mount his horse, which was only slightly injured, and ride to the depot. He then returned to the office of his doctor and a careful examination was made and it was found that his right ankle was sprained and that a part of the ankle bone was broken off. After the injured member was dressed he was taken to the home of John C. Martindale to remain until he had recovered sufficiently to be taken to his home. He will be able to get about some on crutches but the leg will cause him trouble for several weeks.

Don Sutton is laying out a fine in the county jail. He was convicted in Justice Bruner’s court for having assaulted a merchant named H. C. DeKock, of DeMotte. The evidence showed that DeKock asked Sutton to settle an account and Sutton claimed to have paid part of it DeKock finally told him if he would pay the amount he acknowledged that he owed, DeKock would receipt him in full. Sutton got out the money and as DeKock •was putting it into his pocketbook Sutton struck him. The assault seems to have been entirely unprovoked. Sutton was fined $lO and costs and elected to lay it out in jail, assuming a bravado that was not looked on with favor by those who saw him. It is understood that other charges will be filed againßt Sutton when he is released, relating to an alleged assault on another man.
