horse and wagon, into which Mrs. VIII
liams and children, Mrs. Lisco and her
daughter, Miss Ella, were placed. The
young men secured Bud Proctor and his
wagon and drove on ahead. At the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Carr, Mrs. Williams left
the wagon. leaving the others TO drive on.
Mr.. Proctor had halted with his wagon
at the foot OF hill. and when the wagon
containing the ladies started down the
hill the horse became frightened and ran
down the steep grade. The hind wheel of
ProctOr's wagon was struck turning the
wagon over on Proctor, pinning him to the
ground. The women and children were

wheels passing over her breast and should
er. A little son of Mrs. Williams had both
ears nearly torn off and another OF her
children was seriously hurt. Mr.. Bailey,

jumping from the wagon, and he and
Charlie Lisco soon released Mr.. Proctor,
who was found to be quite seriously hurt
on his hip. His horse had also been
knocked down by the runaway animal.
The entire party returned to the house of
Mrs. Carr where the injured ones were

the notary at home and the brave young
couple were soon made man and wife. The
