Meets With Serious Accident.
Enoch Mowrcland met with a
very serious accident last Thurs
day afternoon. He was working
on his farm, three and one-half
miles west of Murray, making
some fence repairs that neces
sitated the services of an axe. In
trimming some brush the axe
caught on a wire, causing him to
strike his left foot with the sharp
blade, inflicting a very deep and
dangerous wound. The blood
flowed so freely that it came very
near a serious hemorrhage,
whi'-h was narrowly averted by
timely medical aid and the assist
ance of William Daldwin, who as
sisted Mr Mooreland to the house.
At this time he is getting along
as well as could be expected.
