Lou Bowers, a grocery man of Morristown, who is separated from his wife, got on a drunk last week, and took a notion to go and see his mother at Lebanon. He got off the train at Palestine and attempted to walk back to Morristown. When he reached Sugar Creek bridge he fell off. His cries for help attracted the attention of near-by residents, and when they found him he was paralzed[sic] in his lower limbs.October 8, 1891
