AFATED FAMILY.
A Runaway Team Causes Several
Persons to be Injured
Quite Badly.
They Arrive at the Depot I'm a
Very Weary and Democrat
lied Condition.

At a late hour yesterday afternoon
Mr.. B. E. Shy. a farmer who reside:
some twenty odd miles north of Soda
liza, brought to the depot here a family
of five persons, who resembled the
victims of a Kansas cyclone. The
unfortunate people were j. III. Bow.
den, his wife, two daughters and one
son, of Bates county. The children
have been attending school at Column
bia, Mo-, and the parents were pres.
ent at commencement exercises, hav-
ing driven across the country in their
own conveyance for the benefit of Mrs.
Bowden's health.
Thursday the party left Columbia,
en- route home, all five being seated in
the family carriage. Yesterday morn
ing, about $50 o'clock, they had
journeyed as far as Mayfeld's hill,
when Mr.. Bowden alighted from the
vehicle for the purpose of making it
easier for the team. He went to the
horses heads and was walking along,
when one of the animals reared up
wards, striking Mr.. B. on the head
and telling him to the ground. The
carriage then passed over his lower
limbs, bruising them badly, but for
tunately no fracture resulted. At this
period the carriage was turned par
tally over, hurting the occupants into
the road in a promiscuous heap. Mrs.
Bowden sustained serious injuries
about the head, face and back, and
was in a critical condition on arrival
here. One of the daughters escaped
unframed, but the other received an
ugly cnt on the chin anG was other
wise burt. The son also sustained
slight injuries, but was able to look
after the remainder of the party,
being assisted by his uninjured sister.
Mr.. Shy, farmer residing near by,
proved a friend indeed, and brought
the unfortunate family to the city,
where they boarded the south-bound
NJ, X & I train for home, being salts
fed that it is much safer to travel in
this manner than By private convey
ance.

The facts in the case, SO far as can be as

been warned by the marshal several
days prior TO his arrest that the
tax on the dog must be paid, or that its
owner would be subject TO arrest and fne.
Logan eI deayored to evade the law by
