broken above the ankle and was
badly cut about the head and body.
The lad was rushed to the Seaforth
Memorial Hospital. Alex 'had return
ed home from school and wanted to
drive the team around the field. The
man in charge allowed him to do so
and had gone to the barn. For some
unaccountable reason the team,
otherwise quiet, started to run away
and the lad was thrown from the
seat and was dragged for some dis
tance. Two of the horses had freed
themselves from the machine and
the third horse had stopped in the
field. The lad’s leg was caught in

several scalp wounds. Alex is a ne
