              HIS PONY SLIPPED
              
              And Little HERBERT CASWELL'S Leg Was Broken
              
              Special to the Globe
              Anoka, Minn., Jan. 29. - Little HERBERT CASWELL, one of
            the scholars in the public school, broke his leg today and
            sustained other serious injuries while on an errand of mercy.
            His parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. CASWELL, of Coon Creek, six
            miles from this city, have been very sick with la grippe for
            some time past. His father is lying at death's door. His two
            brothers, ARTHUR and IRVING CASWELL, form the firm of CASWELL
            Bros., who are proprietors of the Anoka Herald. ARTHUR was at
            home and IRVING was in this city attending to the paper. When
            the illness at home became more serious little HERBERT hur-
            riedly mounted his pony and flew to this city to notify IRVING
            his father's end was near. As he reached here at noon today in
            rounding a corner the pony slipped on the frozen ground and 
            fell onto the lad's left leg, badly breaking it. Willing hands
            grasped the boy, but not giving himself a thought, he exclaim-
            ed, "Tell IRVING father is dying." He was taken into McCAULEY'S
            feed store, which was near, and Dr. DUNHAM summoned, who re-
            duced the fracture.
            
            (Transcriber's Note: Albert J. Caswell did indeed die a few
                                 days later.)
