MORE THAN THEIR SHARE OF ACCIDENTS.

TJ. M. Baughman went to Monon Wednesday to visit his father, H. M. Baughman, for a couple of days. The latter in climbing over a wire fence the other day, fell and broke his arm. By the way, fate has been dealing unkindly with the Baughman family of late. For years they had no sickness and no accidents in the family, but last November C. M. Baughman—a brother of U. M. Baughman of this city—who lives at Logansport and was a freight brakeman, received an injury to one of his knees while handling freight and is still laid up from the injury. A few weeks ago a sister residing at Medaryville fell from a step-ladder and injured her hip, knee and ankle, and has not fully recovered from the injury as yet. U. M. Baughman’s injury to his knee several weeks ago is still giving him a great deal of trouble and he is obliged to use crutches to get about at all. And now the father falls and breaks his arm.
