Show Boy's Leg Broken In Accident Monday forenoon", Glen Jeffery, the ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Jeffery, had his leg broken just above the knee in a freakish accident. Glen was riding on back of a tractor mowing machine, and jumped up behind Jey Jeffery, who was driving. A grease fitting on the drive shaft caught his trousers and jerked him back down. When he was extricated from the machinery, he had been stripped and was left wearing his hat and shoes and sox. His Levis had been torn to tatters in the machinery, his belt cut, and his other clothing cloth-ing was in ribbons. The boy wasn't cut, even where the leg was broken, brok-en, although the skin showed chafed streaks. He was treated at the Delta hospital, hos-pital, and sent home to recover, with his leg in a cast. |
