While taking part in the dancing at the Garrison Hall last evening °rofes» »r Cardston met with a rather painful accident. .In going backwards with his partner (Miss Lullie Power) he stooped off the stage and came down very heavily on his right knee. Miss Power also went over, but the Professor managed to save her from falling.. The extra weight, however, bent his already injured leg under him with the-result that his knee was badly hurt. He very pluckilv tried to continue the dance, but the pain was too great, and he had to give it up.
