While standing on a chair in his office reaching up to a shelf after some medicine, Thursday night, Dr. O. M. Ide met with a mishap that will give him considerable pain and render his left arm useless for some time to come. The doctor lost his balance in some manner and fell over backwards, striking his arm in such a manner that both bones of the forearm were broken about half way between the wrist and elbow. Dr. C. H. Searle set the broken bones and Dr. Ide is now able to be about with his arm in a sling. - Sabula Gazette.
