Jtorih
Ultl
Sheriff A. J. Salisbury barely es
capod serious injury yesterday morning
at about 10 o'clock when his car turned
turtle on Garfield table about thirty
five miles northeast of tho city. Ho
received a big gash across the right
temple and several bruises about his
body and was pinned undor the car for
about thirty minutes.
The sheriff was driving to the north
east part of the county on official busi
ness and while driving down a slight
grade his car ran off into a canyon and
overturned. The mist in the air
gathered on the wind shield so that he
could scarcely see in front and he
failed to notice a sharp turn in the
load. Tho car turned over and pinned
tho sheriff's right leg under one side of
the body so that he could scarcely get
out. The glass in the windshlejd was
broken and cut a deep gash in his fore
head that required thirteen stitches to
close.
He finally crawled out from under
the car anil walked a mile to the home
of Fred Fox who brought him into the
city. He is very weak from loss of
blood and was taken immediately to
the P. & S. hospital where his injuries
were attended. Tho car was hauled in
behind Mr. Foy'b car.
Air. Salisbury and Mr. Fox arrived
in the city at about 1 o'clock and the
sheriff was able to return ,homo by 4
o'clock. He is still very weak from
loss of blood and his injuries will un
doubtedly lay him up for some weeks.
He considers himself very lucky in get
off with as few injuries as he did.
