He Rode in the Hearse.

A White oounty man named Geo. Valandingham got his first but probably not his last ride in a hearse the other day. While helping in the Forbis Hotel to fix a refrigerator he let a cake of ioe fall on bis foot and it injur ed him so badly that it was necoessary to remove him to his home in the country at once. No other vehiole seemed handy so a hearse that was stored nearby was converted into an ambulance and he was taken home in it.
