Aged Union Township Man Broke Ankle Bone Monday.

James Burns, aged about 70 years, and an old resident of Union township, had the misfortune to severely sprain one of his ankles and to break one of the small bones in it Monday evening. He had been hauling hay and slipped off the ■load, lighting feet first, but striking the hard ground so forcibly that the injury resulted. It will lay him up for some time.
