The Injured man was delighted with the prospect of gotlng to return to his home anU from the enthusiasm he manifested It Is almost certain he will recover noon. Mrs. Crowder was not bo enthusiastic over the change as she felt that he was receiving ex cellent medical attendance In this city and that It would not be pos sible to Improve on It. She stated to a Journal reporter that she wished to extend the greatest thanks to the people of this city who had assisted her in her troubles and that she cer tainly appreciated the many kind nesses which they had bestowed up on her. She particularly wished to express her gratitude to the attending physicians and nurses for their active work and treatment of her husband and to the proprietors of tho Perkins House for the many courtesies which they had extended her during their Htay at their hostelry.

I lie aunimal was can- toting along near the head of Chi cago avenue when In some manner it slipped and fell. Mr. Stokes came clear of the animal except his left foot which was caught under the ani mal in such a manner as to bend the toes of the foot backward and badly strain the leaders. The Injury was not dangerous but exceedingly painful, so much so In fact as to render him almost Incapable of walking upon the foot. Medical at tendance was had and everything done to relieve the pain. Mr. Stokes was able to be out and about last eve ning and today the Injured toes were In better shape. It was fortunate that the Injury was not more serious than It was as he could easily have suffered a broken leg In the fall. The animal was not injured WILL RAISE HORSES Z. T.
