The Sand Stopped Him.

Alfred Hopkins had a very narrow escape from serious' injury last week while going to Delphi on his wheel. He attempted to ride pown a steep hill, rough and rocky as the proverbial Jordan load, but was unable to control his frisky Czar, which flew to foot of the long incline with miraculous absence accident As he cleared the last rock asmiling expanse of silvery sand welcomed the wild rider. Hospital facilities were offered by a nearby farmer, and thedilaapilated wheel and bandaged over were hauled in a farm wa"on to the nearest depot.
