BROKE
BONES
IN LEG
Arthur Cramp, 49, of Laggan,
broke his left leg in a peculiar
accident in a paddock at that
centre while engaged in timber
dragging operations.
Cramp, who is employed ,by Mr. J.
Williams, was using a horse, with
chains attached to drag timber to one
corner of a paddock for burning off
purposes and the horse was pulling
a heavy log, which apparently rolled
on an uneven surface, striking Cramp
a severe blow, which shattered both
bones on the left leg.
His brother, who witnessed the ac-
cident, secured car from the home-
stead and rushed Cramp to Goulburn,
where he was ordered to St John of
God Hospital. Owing to the nature of
the injuries, which caused him con-
siderable agony, Cramp had to remain
in the rear seat of the car until the
ambulance arrived with a stretcher.
It is expected that he will be con-
fined to bed for some considerable
time.
