Lane, who was driving, was thrown
head-first from the buggy, striking a
fence post, from which he caromed
off Into a barbed wire fence, and when
bla unwilling and violent journey was
ended, his face and throat were so
torn and lacerated that it was neces
sary for Dr. Bennett to take 17 stitch
es to close the wouDds.
The hemorrhages from the lDjured
man’s throat were of the most daDgcr
oua character, and Lane was brought
to town by Mr. DeMaris as soon as a
team could be bitched up.
The men with Lane were more or
less cut and bruised, but none of them
seriously. Dr. Bennett is of the opin
ion that unless blood poisoning sets
la Lane will have only a fen scare to
recall bis flirting with death and tbe
undertaker. *
