A Hip Bone Broken.

Mrs. Hilton, wife of David H. Hilton, living in the east part of town, met with a bad accident Wednesday evening. She slipped on an icy place, near her house, and fell heavily upon her righ hip, fracturing the bone at the joint. Dr. English was called and next morning he and Dr. Washburn set the broken bone. A broken hip is always a serious matter .and in this case where the patient is advanced in years and not in robust health, it is especially so. *.
