Broken Arm and Broken Neck.

Ijtst Sunday John McColly, son of of Willis McColly, and about 12 years old, went out from Fair Oaks riding on a pony, and with him was a young man named Dick Mallatt When about 4of a mite from town JMallatt’s horse ran into McColly’s l>ony, which caused the boy to be thrown off so violently as to break one of the bones of the right forearm, and to dislocate the right elbow joint He was also badly bruised about the head and abdomen. The pony ran towards town and Young Mallatt pursuetl it until finally the pony jumped over a feuce and broke its neck. The ]»ony was the property of T. H. Davisson. Young Mallatt by-tlie-way, is the indentical chap, who about two months ago, dropped his knife on the trigger of his shot gun and thereby filled the leg of a boy named Kessler with shot He seems to be a mighty unlucky boy—for the other fellows. Dr. Washburn who has charge of the case reports that the injured boy is doing well.
