He was helplessly pinned for about 45 minutes, until help came and lifted off the heavy tractor, j It is said that Mr. Christian's dog, a faithful Collie, which usual, ly followed him to the field and j was just behind the machine when it overturned, probably sav ed his master's life. Mr. Chrid jtiaxi's cries for help were unheard, but two colored men at a bam i.i' j another field were visited by the ' | dog which acted so strangely that | they, knowing the dog had been I with Mr. Christian, suspected ! something was the matter and went to Investigate, when they found the overturned machine and its driver. Mr. Christian at that time was almost unconscious from the pain and mental angffgh. I He was carried home and a physician quickly summoned. It is learned that the injured man was not fatally hurt. At' last reports he was improving. But you may be sure that John | Christian will always be grateful jto that faithful Collie, which probably saved his life. U. S. S.
