              Henry Dilling Badly Hurt.
    Henry Dilling, an old and much respected farmer living near Hamlin, was seriously hurt Monday by falling off a load of wood. He was sitting on top of the wood, which was piled on a low wagon. One stick fell off the load and in changing his seat Mr. Dilling slipped and fell to the ground. He fell on the stick of wood and a big splinter broke his cheek bone and cut a big gash in his face. The injuries received in the fall were most serious, however, and may prove fatal. Mr. Dilling is 74 years old.
