J- V. Bringle of Summitt, So. Dak., writes his father, W. D. Bringle, that he has got his knee back in place and is now feeling flrstrate. While digging for a gopher he stepped in a hole and threw his knee out of place. This was some time ago, and he was hobbling around while his father was there on his crippled foot, while the ankle on the other Toot was hurting him as the result of a swoolen tendon, making locomotion almost Impossible. An old doctor fixed him up and now he feels good. Mrs. George Daniels of Barkley tp., was on her road to town Wednesday forenoon to market some produce, and when near town, on the i.orth gravel road, an auto occupied by Charles Shambaugh and S. M. Burns of Lafayette came up from behind and attempted to go around and get in front. Just as they got even with the buggy the horse shied away from the auto, turning the front wheel of the buggy sharply, toward the machine, the wheels of which caught it and in the mix-up the shifts were broken and the horse’s leg badly skinned. It seems the baggy was not upset and Mrs. Daniels was not hurt in kny way. The men in the auto came to town and bought a new pair of shafts and saw that the horse got proper treatment, doing all they could to right the wrong that had been done.. The machine either got away from them or they were running at a higher rate of speed than is allowable, else they would not have run so close to the buggy.
