When picked up he was unconscious and for a while it was feared he was fatally injured. Upon examination it was found he had one wrist broken, a bad cut on the head, and was quite badly bruised. He was taken to his son, Claud’s, home and regained consciousness about 3 o’clock and at this writing is resting easy.
