Leg Broken
Last Thursday Nat. Mabe was attempting to break a colt on the James Sloan’s farm. While mounting on the young animal in the barn, it reared, and falling over sideways Mr. Mabe’s leg was caught beneath and animal and broken just above the ankle. Both bones were fractured, and the injury is very serious. The patient is under the care of Dr. McKee, of West Dubuque, doing well, though he complains of much pain.
