"The Kansas City Evening Mail" (Missouri) Thursday, September 23, 1875 A BADLY BROKEN LEG. Last evening Mr. George LEACH, an upholster in the furniture establishment of Abernathy, North & Orrison, met with a very painful accident. Two men got into a fight on Main street, between Fifth and Missouri avenue, and Mr. LEACH attempted to separate them. As he was doing this, one of the combatants seized him and threw him down a pair of stairs leading into a basement, and in the fall LEACH's right leg was broken in two places below the knee. He was carried to the Wedell house, and medical attendance was promptly called. He was quite cheerful this morning, and laughed and joked with friends who called. When asked if he suffered much pain, he said he did but crying wouldn't help it any; if it would, he declared, he would bellow the roof off the house. LEACH will let the boys fight it out hereafter. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
