Bush, of Gilbert avenue, sustained in- juries last week that might have been ifutal. Shortly after coming home ‘from college Bruce began working on the Paul Mauser farm, located just south of Hinckley. His injuries were; sustained while driving a team-of colts on a manure spreader. One of the animals became frightened and started on a tear after Bruce had lost the reins. His only chance to escape was to try to jump. As he tried to clear the wagon he caught in a chain, which luckily broke, tossing him to the ground.
