McBroom. He was en-week gaged in hauling grain from his sonMarjorie Ed's farm three miles west of this city Friday morning and was going for a load, sitting on a seat with triple box when an auto came along at a fast clip frightening the team* who shied off the grade throwing Mr. McjBroom to the hard ground. The fall was a bad one, landing on his shoulder and head. One ear was nearly severed and his head cut in places and two ribs fractured. He was unconscious for some time. He had so far recovered from his ter rible experience that he was able to be removed to his home Tuesday. The result of his injuries is hard to determine at this time but they are certainly serious. iOn Friday as Herman tSchroed'er was engaged in moving a building on the J. F. Miller farm in Flora he in some unaccountable manner was hit in his stomach with the slack of the cable as it tightened suddenly knock ing him backwards on his head. He was unconscious for some 24 hours. Late reports are that he is gaining slowly.—Renville iStar Farmer. Mr. McBroom is a brother of Dr. Geo. McBroom of Atwater.

The boy fell off the wagon and in falibis thrust an arm forward. It caught in the fan belt and was all but torn off at the shoulder, hanging to the body only at the shoulder blade. An artery was torn loose and the lad gradually bled to death. A hurried trip was made to Litch field with the, boy, but as so much blood had been lost, the child died soon after reaching town.
