ED ANDKESS SUSTAINED
A BROKEN NOSE 8UNDAY
Ed Andreu of Sunset Is suf-
fering the painfulness of a bro-
ken nose, sustained in a fall.
The accident occured last Sun-
day morning as he was walking
from his home to attend services
at the Sunset Methodist church.
As he was nearing the church he
suddenly fell forward and his
nose struck some hard object In
the dirt, resulting 'in a painful
cut and broken nose bridge. He
was carried by his son, W. KL
Andress, to the Bowie hospital
for treatment of the injury and
returned to his home in Sunset.
He is unable to account for
the tall. He said, “As I was ap-
proaching the church house the
ground seemed to suddenly rise
up and slap me In the face.” He
Is past eighty years of age and
has experienced a number of
injuries during his time but thi&
is his first personal experience
with a broken nose.
