Robert SAMPLE came in from Decatur Co., Tuesday evening, where he has been making his home most of the past two years. He met with a bad accident last Sunday, which gave him a very bad bruised nose and face. He was riding his bicycle from Columbus to Alert, a distance of fourteen miles, and when he had covered about half the distance his bicycle suddenly slid out from under him and he was thrown onto the frozen ground lighting upon his nose and face. His face and nose were badly peeled and bruised and he also received a severe bruise on the back of his right hand in attempting to protect his face. Mr. SAMPLE continued on his journey and transacted his business at Alert.
