= A terrible and distressing accident
befell Prof. w. T. F. MilBurn, of Greene
county, near Rheatown, Tuesday, the
29th ult., the particulars of which are
given as follows by the Knoxville
C1s901asc1e: He had gone from his home
a few mules from Rheatown, into town,
Tuesday in a buggy, and was returning
home about dark and while driving
along alone his horse suddenly took
fright by some means or other, and be-
coming uncomfortable dashed away at
a fearful rate, throwing the rider out
and mangling him up in most fright
full manner. His entire lower jaw, we
are informed, was literally crushed into
a jelly, and he was otherwise seriously
injured. The buggy was also smashed
to pieces. His body was taken up and
to his home, when the services
of DR.. Morley were secured and the
wounds dressed. The doctor gave it as
his opinion that it was almost iInpossi-
Bile for him to recover He was, how
ever, perfectly conscious, and although,
from the condition of his mouth and
jaw, he could neither speak, eat or
drink, still he communicated with his
friends through the medium of a pen.
In this manner he communicated to his
friends that just q few minutes before
the ACCIDENT befell him as he was driV-
ing along, he was startled by what seem
ed a clear and distinct voice uttering
these words: lin less than three days
you will be a CORPSE This frightened
him very much, and he stopped his
horse and got out to seek if possible the
source from whence the came, but with
put short time till he met his sad fate |
