MR. XYDIAS INJURED.

       Anthony Xydias, proprietor of the New England bakery, suffered a painful accident yesterday, and as a result is wearing his trusty right arm in a sling.  This is how it happened.  Mr. Xydias was leading one horse and driving another.  The horse pulling the bakery wagon was willing to go, the other wasn't.  The driver's arm became entangled with the rope that was attached to the led horse, and before he could untangle himself his hand was cut and his arm nearly dragged from the socket.--Albuquerque Journal-Democrat.
       The friends of Mr. Xydias in Marlin will regret to hear of his misfortune and will join the Democrat in wishing him a speedy recovery.
