GRANVILLE MOODY STRICKEN

With Paralysis Thursday and His x Condition Is Critical. Granville Moody of Barkley township, one of Jasper county’s wealthiest stock growers and land owners, was stricken with paralysis Thursday forenoon while on‘ his way on horseback to his north farm. While not unconscious at any time except panibly when the attack first came on, a blood clot is ' said to have formed on the brain and his condition is considered critical at This writing. Mr. Moody was walking slowly and leading his horse when he came to the home of the tenant on the farm, seemingly dazed, and acted queerly. The tenant’s wife tele-* phoned to the Moody home and told Granville, Jr., of his father’s condition, and he at once summoned a doctor and informed Mrs. George Long, the daughter residing here, then went with the car and brought Mr. Moody home, the doctor and Mm. Long and husband having reached the Moody home ere Granville’s return. I The doctor prescribed absolute rest and quiet and put the patient to bed, and up* to yesterday noon there was no particular tn his condition. He doesn’t seem to remember much of what transpired while going to his other farm or how or when he got off the horse. He may have fallen off *when the attack seized him, for all he remembers of the matter.
