Eton North Hospital, where it was found that he was suffering from cuts and abrasions and an injured hip. Boss is a marries man with two chil. dren and resides in Palmerston North. Leg Amputated. The young motor-cyclist, Arthur Jenkins, of Feilding, who met with an accident at Peep o’ Day last week and was admitted to Palmerston North Hospital has had a leg ampu. tated.
