City Marshal Vern Robinson, who suffered a broken leg about a year ago when the horse drawing the city garbage wagon became frightened at a pseudo “Charlie Chaplin” "and started to run away. Mr. Robinson was near the horse and in trying to stop the animal his leg was broken: He was confined for several months at that time and the injured limb never seemed to heal properly. A few weeks ago erysipelas infected the old injury for several days the past week his condition was quite serious. However, word from the home yesterday noon was more encouraging as- he had shown some improvement and the attending physician announced that, the disease was under control. It will be some time yet before Mr. Robinson is able to be up even though his improvement is steady.
