John Welch met with quite a serious accident Monday evening at home while doing his evening chores. He was leading a horse out to water and a colt, which was turned loose in the yard, came up to the watering trough and before he could realize it, turned around and kicked him, striking with both feet on his right arm just below the elbow and broke a bone in the forearm. The accident will lay him up for several weeks, but he is fortunate, however, in having a $2,000 policy in the Mystic Workers from which he will draw $100 for the accident.
While returning home from Wauconda creamery Wednesday morning, Leslie Turnbull mnet with a serious mishap. He stepped from the wagon to pick up a few apples by the roadside and as he was getting into the rig, the horse started, throwing him heavily to the ground with the seat on top of him, breaking his arm just below the elbow. Tyler Gilbert, who happened to be near at the time, ran to his assistance and, after stopping the horse, picked him up and brought him home, when Dr. Well set the broken member. From latest reports he is doing as well as could be expected.
