A Terrible Accident.

A Terrible Accident.
The peopleo Of Dickinsonwere horrifed
Thursday morning at about half past 10
O'Clock upon learning Of the accidental
death Of Mabel Littlehales. As gathered
THE facts Of. the terrible accident are
these: Michael Goodale's farm team be-
came frightened while standing at the
residence Of David Roberts on Van Nor
den street just west of the school grounds
and ran away. The team made a circle
around the Roberts house, the reins drag
ging, Mr.. Goodale clutching at the side
of the box, and started across the play
ground close to the south side of the
school building. 1t was recess time and
Prot. Clemmer saw the team coming and
tried to head it off, but the frightened
horses dashed past him and the children
who were fleeing to the main entrance in
the southeast corner of the school house
were in the way of the team. Prot Glenn
mer picked up Bertha Brislin first and
seeing that she had only received flesh
bruises turned her over to other hands,
picked up the ~lifeless form of Mabel and
started to take her home to her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. D. S. Littlehales, on Han
naford street. Miss Spears, Mabel's
teacher, overlook Prof. Clemmer and
took the body the rest of the way. Mr..
| Goodale was found in a state of uncon-
seriousness near the school house
entrance, where he had been thrown from
the wagon, with a severe cut in the back
of the head and a broken color bone. A
number of boys playing at marbles in
the eastern part of the grounds had mar
row escapes, and two girls had to jump
over the fence into Owen Flynn's yard
for safety. The team ran out onto Sims
street and was stopped near Greene's
market.
