SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Mr. Norman Clarke, farmer of Tarlee, met with a serious accident while cutting hay one day last week. He was driving a horse-drawn binder and stopped the machine to replace a sheaf. While doing so, the team moved forward and one of Mr. Clarke's legs came in contact with the knives of the binder. Before the horses could be stopped, his leg including the bone, had been severely cut. Fortunately, his brother (Mr. E. Clarke) was in the vicinity, and the injured was hurried to the Riverton hospital for treatment. It is thought that no permanent disability will result from the accident.
