LEG BROKEN - On last Saturday morning, as Mr. M. G. Harbin, a respectable citizen, living about three miles west of London, was attempting to mount his horse, that animal being a spirited one, jumped from under him and he fell to the ground, breaking his right leg a little above half way from the knee to the thigh. He has suffered quite a great deal, but his physicians report that he is getting along very nicely and will soon recover. (This could also be Milton G. Harbin the son, since son is a blacksmith.)
