SAD ACCIDENT.-Cha Z. Dow, son
of James Dow of West Glover, was
thrown from a carriage Tuesday fore
noon, near Hugh Cars and so badly
injured that he died Thursday morning.
He was % years of age. Mr.. Dow had
been to East Albany to visit his brother,
and on his return home the accident oc-
Cured. He was driving spirited horse
in a dog cart, and it is supposed that
the holdback or some part of the har-
ness broke while he was coming down
the hill near Mr.. Carr's, and the horse
went into a run, and continued to run
until out of sight around the dugway
above Mr.. Graves. While making a
sharp turn Mr.. Dow was thrown from
the cart down the bank, and apparently
struck his head upon some stone, and
then fell against the fence. When found
he was lying on his back unconscious,
never afterwards regaining conscious
ness. He was taken to Mr.. Graves and
everything possible done for him, but
his injury was fatal. Mr.. Dow was a
young man of good ability, amiable dis
position, and spotless character. He
was doing a successful business as a
merchant and was esteemed by all who
knew him. His loss is deeply felt in all
the community and is almost crushing
blow to his parents. His funeral was
on Friday, at his fathers resi-
dence in West Glover, Rev M. A. Adams,
a former pastor, officiating.
