Fell out of the Wagon.

j On Friday'afternoon Walter Daywitt, of Nubbin Ridge, was going i out to the races, riding with others !in a lumber wagon. He was standing up in the wagon,and just beyond the river bridge, in front of J. M. Hopkins’ place, Alfred McCoy came j tearing past, at his usual speed, and the team behind which Daywitt was riding suddenly' jumped to one side and the sudden jerk threw Daywitt out backwards, upon his head and shoulders. The force of the fall rendered him unconscious for some time and greatly braised his back and shoulders, and cut his head, somewhat. lie was taken into Dr. Alter’s office where the proper treatment finally got him into a condition to j walk about arid inabißeTus accustomed stimulant. The fellow is usually J drunk when he has anything to- buy ■ liquor with, but Dr. Alter says that the general opinion that he was drunk at the time of the accident is a mistake. -— | 1 School Books at the Post-office. •
