   MUSKET FLAT

   On Saturday morning last, Mr. Walter Grout was charged by a beast (not the bull) and in trying to avoid the impact slipped and fell, the animal going over him. He sustained a painful injury to the wrist, which has quite disabled the arm. I am sorry to say the latest report of his condition is not a very favourable one.
