Fractures Knee Cap
While engaged in a game of
ball Emory Voyh's had the misfor
tune to suffer a fractured knee cap,
which required taking him to the
hospital for treatment and has been
giving much pain. At he hospital
it was found necessary to perform a
very delicate operation in order to
return the fractured parts to place,
and now all that remains is the
healing effect of time to restore him
to his former condition. The injury
was a most unusual one, but any
thing can happen when one engages
in strenuous outdoor contests.

construction of wardrobe cases that
