Rush Cobb Badly Injured Friday; Mule Throws Him

High Shoals, Nov. 27—Rush Cobb, the eleven year old son of Mr. Obediah Cobb, a deputy sheriff, was severely injured yesterday when he was thrown off a mule which he was riding on Route 207, near Cliffside. The mule began to buck and the boy fell to the hard surface of the road on his head. A deep gash, three inches long, required many stitches, and it is said the physician thought the boy had a fracture of the skull.

Today Rush Cobb is much better and is not considered to be in any danger.
