ROBT. DOWLER BADLY HURT.

Last Friday afternoon, while working on a scaffold building a g>rch at Jessie Gwin’s, Robert owler, an aged citizen and carpenter, lost his balance and fell over backwards to ■ the ground, about eight feet below, alighting on his head and shoulders. He was completely paralyzed and nnconscious for some time and was not removed to his home until Sunday. He is still partially paralyzed and is in a very precarious condition, with recovery in doubt. The old gentleman is 74 years of age.
