Eoy Klingaman had the misfor A
tune to get his leg broken Saturday
morning while cutting out cattle at p
T. L. Tiukham's. He had been
M
cutting out cattle and one yearling
became troublesome and he decided E
to rope it and his horse not' being
used to a rope became frightened
and began bucking- The horse ran n
one way and the steer the other and
the rope caught and pulled Eoy off
the horse , but his foot caught in the
stirrup and the Ahorse drug him
about 100 yards , kicking and strik
ing at him. Finally Eoy managed
to get hold of the ladego and was
pulling himself upon the horse
when his leg broke and he felJ to n
ground and his ftfo't Came b'ut
of the stirrup. He was very for
tunate to et out with only a brok
en leg , for he might easily have
been killed. Bay Tinkham immed
iately brought him to town where Dr.
Tische attended him. He is getting
along as well as could be expected.
Mrs. Klingaman was informed of
the accident at once and came in to
care for her husband.
