    • Dr. M. G. Simpson, veterinarian, was called to Manson Sunday morning by a painful accident which befell his brother, R M. Simpson, who resides at that place. Mr. Simpson had the misfortune to be kicked by a colt with such force as to badly crush his left shoulder. As he is seventy-one years of age the injury is a very serious one and will require a good while to effect a cure. Mr. Simpson has visited his brother here a number of times and is well known to quite a number of Newell people. Mr. Simpson will have the sympathy of many Newell friends in this great misfortune.
