BROKEN LEG
[Welland Tribune, 5 March 1897]
Clarence Doan, who delivers milk for Bald Bros., and who had an arm broken in a runaway a short time ago, met with another bad accident last Friday morning. He and Dais Bald were on the delivery wagon driving past James O’Neal’s when the hind axle broke and the wagon turned over, catching the lad’s leg under the box and breaking it. Fortunately Mr. O’Neal was just coming out of the house when the accident occurred, and grabbed the horse as it was about to take a lunge and run away with the two shut in the covered wagon. Without any other assistance Mr. O’Neal managed to get the horse unhitched, get the boys out, send Dais for a doctor, and carry young Doan home.
