A serious accident befell Mr Alf LANE last night week. He had been away
with a wagon and team of horses assisting in the shifting of the old
Salvation Army Hall from Natimuk to Tooan East, and did not reach home until
after ten o'clock at night. His son, George, who was waiting up for him,
had taken two of the horses to the stable when he heard an unusual noise
outside. He went out and found his father on the ground amongst the other
horses. The reins were wound around his wrist and the horses had dragged
him about the yard and trampled on him. His face, neck, arms and legs were
badly cut and bruised, and it was feared at first that his nose was broken.
Dr BIRD was immediately sent for, and his friends will be pleased to know
that Mr LANE is recovering. Mr LANE has been amongst horses all his life,
and this is the first serious accident he has had.
