think life was extinct. The unfortunate
man was removed to Ridgely where the
physicians soon discovered however, that
his neck had been broken by the turning
of the wheels while his head was between
the spokes. He had probably been thrown
from his seat by the jolting of the cart
over rough places, and fallen with his
head in the wheel. The body was
conveyed to his home at a late hour
