Aged Jordan Township Man Suffered Severe Injuries.

Benjamin Barger, aged 67 years, of southwest Jordan township, suffered the fracture of the small bone in his left leg above the ankle and also the dislocation .of his left shoulder several days ago at his farm home. He had hitched a team to a wagon and was standing a short distance away when they started to run. He ran after them, trying to get hold of the lines, and got too close to the heels of one of the horses and was struck on the leg and knocked down, with the result above stated. A Goodland physician was called and dressed his injuries and he will be laid up for some time.
