BAD ACCIDENT TO LITTLE BOY.

YThe four-year-old son of Wm. Bierly, who lives on the W. P. Baker farm north of town, met with a terrible accident Wednesday afternoon, by falling from a buggy in which his father had started to drive away and getting his left foot caught in the spokes of the wheel. Before the horse could be stopped the leg was wrapped around the axle and broken in three places, twice below the knee and once near the hip, while the flesh just below the knee was torn off clear around the leg except about two inches. It is feared the hip may be injured also. Dr. English dressed the wounds and the little fellow is doing as well as can be expected at this writing.
