Chauncey Wood Badly Injured.

Monday forenoon about 11 o’clock, while working in the timber on his father’s farm southeast of Rensselaer, Chauncey Wood was very badly injured by a log falling heavily upon his right leg, breaking both bones near the foot. He was brought to town, where an x-ray picture was taken of the broken limb. He was then taken to the hospital and the limb was set about 5 o’clock. Today he is resting very nicely and it is thought that the limb will be in normal condition when properly healed. Dr. J. Hansson is at the hospital nursing a bad case of grippe. The hospital room will be assigned to the donors tonight. This matter will be in charge of Judge C. W. Hanlay and Mayor Charles G. Spitler. They will meet those interested at the hospital at 7:30 p. m.
