E. G. Douglass, of West Gardiner.
Maine, was driving his horse out of the
field, and carrying a scythe in his hand.
Wanting the horse to step along faster,
he touched him with the scythe. when
the animal kicked, striking the scythe,
knocking 1t into his face, gashing his
chin, and cutting out a large piece o.
flesh, which hung suspended by the
skin, directly under and within half an
inch or his eye, and also striking him in
the stomach, rendering him insensible.
Charley Fesler, son of Jacob
Fesler, Esq, who lives in Washington
County, Iowa, was using a Buckeye
mower alone in the meadow, when the
horses were enraged by an attack of bees
and ran away. Charley kept his seat I'M
til the spring Hereunder next to the
sickle bar broke and threw him upon the
sickle. One of the guards, those
tooth-like projections in which the sickle
plays, stuck into his thigh, and he was
dragged under the sickle bar, the guard
tearing its way down the leg until it
caught and held firmly in the tendons of
the heel, the sickle mangling the limb all
the way down. In that position he was
dragged about fifty yards when, the lines
winding around the machinery, the
horses were stopped. Now came the
trial of the poor boys nerve and vital
ity. All alone as he was, he released him
self from the cruel imprisonment, us-
hitched horse, mounted and rode him
nearly mile to house, where, in spite
of all care, the poor fellow succumbed,
and in half an hour was dead.
