Skull Fractured When Tree Falls Simon Gusork, of Near St. Benedict, is in Critical Condition Father in Not Injured Carrolltown, Oct. 15 Simon Gusork, of near St. Benedict, is in a critical condition as a result of a fractured skull sustained when a tree fell upon him yesterday. The boy and his father were cutting down trees near their home. When a tree began to fall, they started to run. The father escaped but the boy was caught and pinned to the ground. He has since been unconscious and the pressure of blood on the brain has resulted in inflammation of the eyes and he may lose his sight even if he does recover from the fracture. The boy will probably be removed to a hospital where trephining will be resorted to in an effort to relieve the pressure on the brain. Dr. Fingles is the attending physician.
