John Kaskie was the victim of a serious accident Tuesday afternoon. While trying to catch a three hundred pound porker, his foot slipped and the porker ran right over his abdomen. It took four men with aid of a bed quilt to carry John into the house. He was injured internally. To what extent was hard to determine. The Bee is glad to note that he is getting along as well as could be expected.
