J.P. Hysung Takes Tumble

Jacob P. Hysung, the father of Mrs. W.M. Aydelotte, created a little bit of excitement at Brookdale when he turned up missing. At Noon a search began for him, but long in the afternoon he came hobbling home for he is stopping with his daughter. While out for a stroll on one of the side hill trails he lost his footing and slid down an embankment of 15 feet. It was with difficulty that he extracted himself, but escaped without the breaking of any bones. A few bruises makes him rather sore and stiff.
