Clarence Garriott, of Barkley, Had Eye Badly Injured.

Clarence Garriott, of Barkley township, had his left eye badly injured Thursday evening as a result of a fall from e wagon. Mr. Garriott at the time that the accident occurred, was filling a wagon with corn fodder from a silo, preparatory to hauliqg it to the bam. He was standing in the wagon when the horses hitched to the wagon gave a lurch, throwng him to the ground, on a corn stock that was standing upright. The corn stock pierced the left eyelid, cutting it quite badly, but it is thought that the eyeball was not injured. A physician was called and it was found necessary to take two stitches in the eyelid. It is thought that Mr. Garriott’s eyesight will not be permanently impaired.
