DROVER HURT

John March, a well known drover of near Rossville, was seriously injured at a 
late hour Saturday night when his team of bronchos ran away.  Besides being 
rendered unconscious he sustained a fracture of his right collar bone, a large 
penetration wound on the skull and concusions and abrasions about the face and 
body.  The runaway occurred on the road leading from Lewisberry to Mt. Royal.

Mr. March was on his way home from Lewisberry.  The fractions little steeds 
suddenly started on a wild dash down the road and descending an embankment, 
jumped over a fence, in which the team became entangled and the flight halted.  
The drover was thrown from the conveyance, a-lighting head foremost on the 
frozen ground.  Oliver March, who shortly after the accident, came along the 
road, found Mr. March.  He assisted the injured man to his home and summoned Dr. 
H. Bruce Hetrick, who attended the injured man.
