BRUISE PROVES
TO BE SERIOUS
Three weeks ago while down
at Sherar with a crowd from
Maupin after 1 salmon, Vernie
Roberts fell, snaging his left leg
between the knee and ancle on
a rock. Thinking it nothing
more than an ordinary bruise,
he continued his work until two
weeks ago when intense pain
and swelling made it nccesiury
to get a substitute to driva slag
and take a rest.
Mr. Rolwrts had been cor, fined
to his room since then until Sun
day, when he tritkj to walk with
crutches, causing, a relapse of
swelling, but is getting along
nicely again and hopes to- be on
duty soon-
During the incarceration of
Mr. Roberts, Job Crabtree, Ray

each had a little experience car
