WALKER TP. FARMER HURT.

Medaryville Advertiser: Mr. Chris. Salenn, of Walker township/Jasper county, met with a serious accident last Sunday evening which may possibly end fatally. He was driving a cow on the evening mentioned when the horse he rode stumbled, throwing its rider, the horse falling on top of him- In getting up the animal stepped on the prostrate form in the region of the stomaoh. The injured man managed to orawl to tbe side of the road where he lay for half an hour before some returning fishermen discovered him. He was taken home,. Dr. Linton of this place was called, who upon examination found that the pelvic bone/was broken, that he was otherwise considerably braised and that peritonitis had already set in. Mr. Salerin is 72 years old ana his chances for recovery are small indeed.
