tails On Monday last farmer named Ener
Williamson, Norwegian living near Sheridan,
drove into that town with load of hogs. 1ay-
ing weighed them wagon and ALI and unloaded
them, he drove back upon the scales to weigh
the wagon, himself at the time standing on the
tongue behind the horses, with the lines appar.
entity around his body. At that instant the
horses for some reason took fright and started
Off on run, throwing Williamson under the
wagon, where a forward wheel first passed over
his body, and then, as hind wheel caught him,
the lines held him there in which position he
was dragged several rods under the wheel. The
horses running diagonally through a gate, the
wagon was caught by the gate posts by which
the team was stopped. Mr.. Williamson was
picked up dead, in a shockingly manglod condi'
ton, ribs crushed in, blood gushing from his
mouth, &c. He was man about i5 years O
age, OF good habits and in comfortable circum
stance. A brother OF his, it is said was killed q
few years ago by the running away Of hi
team.
