He was employed by a farmer near Webster, this state, to drive a team.
He had been out in a rain and came in late. Instead of going to the house
he went to the hay loft and buried himself under the hay. It is presumed
that another man, who also went to the loft to find a place to sleep accidentally
stepped on his head and fractured his jaw. He soffered (sic) this condition
all night and the next day when he was taken to Devils Lake and place in
a hospital. Strange as it may seem, neither himself nor those around him
supposed his injury to be so serious. Being of a rather delicate constitution
and exposure and suffering he had endured his case was hopeless by the
time he reached the hospital (sic). He was the victim of an acedent (sic),
but the neglect he suffered seems inexcessable (sic).
