Show Gets Koed When Horse Stumbles With the aid of crutches, Ted Knight is back in circulation after an accident last week that threatened threat-ened to lay him up for weeks. Tuesday night, a week ago, the three Knight brothers, Ted, Jim and Russell, were bringing in cattle from near the diversion dam about dusk. Jim was riding ahead, when Ted's horse caught up with him, dusty and riderless. He turned back to investigate, and Russell, driving the truck stopped for the same reason. And there on the road, about a foot from the front wheels, lay Ted unconscious. Apparently his horse had stumbled, and probably rolled over with him, for Ted was dusty, and out like a light for 30 minutes, with a rapidly growing bump, on his head. His brothers brought him to town at once, where Xrays revealed no I broken bones. He was in a delirium all night, but by morning was back on the beam. His right knee was badly sprained, but using crutches enabled him to get around. And within the week, he was back on the tractor cutting seed. In the meantime the abandoned cattle seized the opportunity to scatter, and Russell and Jim spent the day following the accident gathering them up again. |
