MEETS WITH ANOTHER ACCIDENT.

Herman Hordeman is certainly getting his share of the trials and tribulations of life, having lost several fingers a few years ago by having them cut off, and last fall he suffered the loss of an arm, getting mixed up in a corn shredder, Tuesday he was in a runaway accident, being thrown from the wagon and suffered a gash on tjhe head and a dislocation of the left elbow of the arm that was ampuatte& last fall. The team became frightened near the Brady elevator and ran south to the J. P. Hammond residence where they attempted to turn west, throwing off the box of the wagon and the driver with it. One of the lines snapped or Herman would have gotten control of the steads before they reached the corner. He was soon fixed up by a doctor and was able to hunt for his team, which had been caught about one-half mile west of town.
