Isaac Fitzgerald Victim Of Peculiar Accident.

Isaac Fitzgerald, 70 years of age, who works for Frank Schroer, of Barkley township, had his scalp torn from his head ahnost as completely as though he had been attacked by a band of Indians Tuesday afternoon at about 5 o’clock. He was helping to prop up a cattle shed when it pitched over and some part of the shed struck him on top o< the head and tore the scalp almost entirely off. It was just hangin gby a thin string at the back. Dr. Washburn was called and found the man suffering a great deal from the shock and loss of blood. The scalp was sewed back and the patient seems to be getting along nicely.
