GILLAM TP. FARMER HURT.

! Mr. James W. Stevens, the wellknown and popular Gillam township farmer, met with a severe and painful accident Wednesday afternoon. While hauling gravel near his home his foot slipped under one of the wheels of the heavy wagon and, throwing him down, ‘passed across the heel and ankle and along' the leg up to the knee when, fortunately the team stopped. Some neighbors, who happened to be near the scene, backed the wagon off the injured man and took him to his home. Dr. Linton was called and found the bones of the ankle crushed and the ligaments badly torn.' At this time he is reported to be doing as well as could be expected.—Medaryville Advertiser.
