Former Rensselaer Resident Badly Injured.

A dispatch from Columbus, Ind.V under date of August 2, said: “Isaac Leavel, who has just moved from North Vernon to this city, was injured perhaps fatally here today when a horse he was leading behind a buggy became frightened at a pars ing automobile, jumped into the buggy, knocked Leavel out and fell upon him. The injured man has not regained consciousness.” Mr. Leavel is a former well-known resident of Remington and Rensselaer, and one of his sons, Charles Leavel, still resides here. Charley informed The Democrat yesterday morning that he had received a letter telling, of the accident but shortly before the letter reached him he received a telegram saying that his father was getting along all right. The letter, which was written before the telegram was sent, told him to come at once. As immediate danger seemed to have passed, Charley will not go down until tomorrow unless other word should be received in the meantime.
