A Horrible Death-The Result OF n Run
AWAY TIE am.

Jackon (Tenn.) Tribune and Sun, 9Th: On
Friday evening last a startling and appalling
accident occurred at Henderson, Tennessee,
which threw the town III fever of excite
ment. w. I. Christopher, son of w, c.
Christopher, aged seventeen years, while
hauling printing press and other material,
was thrown from the wagon under the horses
feet, and crushed to death. We have the
fl flowing particulars of the sad accident: The
young man was moving the Herald printing
Office, and occupied seat upon table in the
wagon. One of the legs of the table broke
and precipitated him under the horses feet,
which frightened the animals and caused
them to run away at break-neck speed. In
the fall, young Christopher became en-
tangled in the gear, and was dragged forty
or fifty yards by the frightened
animals. When found his head
was literally mashed into Jelly,
and his brains were oozing out. The intelh
gence Of the blood curdlipg accident reached
the ears of the father, and he was so stunned
and crazed at the shocking story that he
rushed madly to the stable and killed the
runaway horse with q shot from his pistol.
He next attempted to take his own life while
convulsed with the fit of grief but was pre-
vented from doing so by friends. This fit
lasted the heart-broken father, at intervals,
for several hours after the accident. The un-
fortunate young man fingered for three hours,
when death brought relief to his sufferings.
The afflicted father aud family have our
heartfelt sympathy in this sad and sore afic-
