Show from the diary of a faithful contributor by GUESS WHO dear jack I 1 understand that my friend hyrum S christensen has hurt his foot and is laid up at home and lias has to use crutches to get around jack you know hy he is the fellow that used my proxy at a wed ding in long beach california califor la during the winter so following your very timely suggestion I 1 went up to see hy to find out his exact condition and if possible learn leam just how the injury happened hy is a little hazy about the details he claims he fell downstairs and sprained his foot but his story was not altogether convincing vin cing so I 1 called in a group cf specialists to study the case to try to determine the cause to diagnose the ailment and promulgate a remedy a goud good word jack promulgate especially in a disease of this kind these specialists gathered from the far ends of the earth even from richfield elsinore monroe and the hillsides Hill sides of course they formed their opinions from their own personal ex cx perien ces and like all other pr prominent 0 in disagree so out of the confusion of c counsel and the m multitude of advice and opinion that they poured on poor hy I 1 shall attempt to give you the views of these birds and you can see sec for yourself just what shape hy is actually in pap ramsay rather scoffed at the idea that hy might have fallen downstairs and said he be believed hy fly had corked himself while running away from roy chidester lamar jensen partly agreed with hy but thought it might have happened by hy jumping out of a court house window like lamar did at panguitch Pan gultch sheriff fairbanks looked the leg over and said in his opinion hy t got ot that by ki kicking ck a dog that was chasing a calf the way the sheriff got his hia joe poulson was very cautious in advancing his opinion he said now if hy will take a handful of tallow from a red hog grasp the leg firmly in one hand band and the tallow in the other and rub the tallow on the leg or the leg on the tallow which ever Is the most convenient something has got to give long dan jensen was sure hy had got that way trying to make a U turn danish jolin john christensen took several puffs on II 11 his cigar and then announced 14 hy y aku quit his avis ban kun ha ba lit ht on his head bead and not his feet he would aliv well in a few days for forrester forrest resten cn peter E christensen of elsinore Elsin was of the opinion that hy got his injury by falling failing down a tater hole but doc salisbury said it did not make a dam bit of difference how he got it the thing to do was to give him gas as and yank it out but jim hill and bill fowles were opposed to giving him gas they said they could tell by the mail that had gone through their offices that hy had been gassed pie plenty nty about the widows over at monroe ham smith argued loud and long that he be hy ou ought h t to take a bath in the monroe hot springs that bathing jn in those springs had been known to 0 o cure anything from an enlarged wishbone to an in growing toenail toe nail he even volunteered to throw hy in and prove it if anyone else even hinted that this remedy might not help slim bohman bobman partly agreed lagreen with smith but did not think it was vas necessary to go to the expense of buying a bath in the springs just duck him in the south bend canal would be enough harry bell however said he bo was now and always had been opposed to these here external baths that he had some brown pills they were probably brown because of age that had been on c n the shelves of his drug store for 30 years which he claimed would do the work the Hill siders were unanimous in their opinion that he had rolled down a side hill bill both al christensen and wid utley claimed they had seen fellows roll down a the same way so now jack you can see clearly just what is the matter I 1 am glad I 1 got this straightened out and we are all confident that hy will bi be sufficiently recovered within the next couple of weeks to 0 take his shift on K P |
