able to move about. . He had been
hauling grain with a four-horse team,
and when about to start for the stack,
the wagon Jolted, throwing him to the
ground. He fell at an agle before the
wheel and fortunately was not run
over. Before the team was stopped
the wheel had skidded him a short
distance. When he was picked up It
was found that no bones were broken,
but the hip badly bruised. Dr. Hall
Was called from La Grande and pro
nounced the case one which will to all
nppearances, speedily recover.
