Mrs Henry Schlidgen Thrown From a
Wagon on Baldwin Hill.
Mrs Henry Schildgen, the wife of a
milk peddler who lives on the road near
Pearl Lakes. was driving along to her
home yesterday evening when the horse
became frightened and ran down Bald
win hill and turned into Chapel street so
sharply that Mrs Schildgen was thrown
from the wagon, and struck the ground
on her head with great force, in front
of r. r. Snagg's house. The neigh bors
carried the woman, who was rendered
unconscious by the fall, to the
house of David Hunter, Chapel street,
and DR. Benedict was hastily summoned.
1t was found on examination that the
accident was more serious than was
suspected. A bad cut was found on
the right side of the face above
the eye and at the base of the brain was
an apparent fracture of the skull. An
oozing from the right ear indicated a
hemorrhage. The doctor gave
all the aid possible under
the circumstances, yet the woman
did not recover consciousness. Up to a
late hour this afternoon her condition
was unchanged, and the symptoms are
decidedly against recovery.
