Mr. Young was trying to turn the log with a canthook when his hold slipped, causing him to fall, and let the log roll upon his leg. It was thought for a time, and first reported in Lakeview that the injury was very serious, but when the wound was reduced by a physician, it was discovered that but one bone below the knee joint was fractured.
At last reports Mr. Young was recovering nicely and it is hoped that he will be able to resume his duties in a short time." (Lake County Examiner)
