seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Perchal (sic), who live nine miles from town,
was severely injured by a horse last Saturday. The boy attempted to drive the
horse to his home from the field, when either in play or earnest the animal
struck him with his hoof, fracturing the skull and throwing him across some
bob-sleds in the yard. Just how the accident happened will never be known as the
little fellow was alone and was picked up by a neighbor some little time after
in an insensible condition. He was brought to town and has been in the care of
Dr Waterhouse since Saturday night. He had sustained internal injuries, which
together with the fracture rendered it a very critical case. The child is
recovering, however, and, except the fear of inflammation, which is not yet
fully allayed, is doing much better than was expected. He is a bright, handsome
boy and bears his suffering with wonderful patience. Eniam.” (LCT: 6-06-1896)
