Oxford, North Carolina, March 81
Yesterday morning about ten o'clock
Henry Robards, colored driver for Mr..
D. H. Hunt, met with an accident which
almost cost him his life. He had gone
for his days work and was driving a
horse to a wagon and when only few
hundred yards from Mrs. Hunts gate he
was seized with an attack of vertigo and
fell backwards in the wagon in which
there was a pitchfork. The horse became
frightened and began to run, turning a
corner at break-neck speed, the wagon
body was thrown in ditch with the
driver underneath. IL some small boys
had not seen the accident he would prob
ably have bled to death before assistance
reached him, as only one foot was visible
from under the wagon body and attention
was attracted to the horse. When the
wagon body was lifted off Of him he was
found to be in a horrible condition. The
pitchfork had pierced his leg, his head and
face were injured and blood was gushing
from his mouth. DR.. B. X. Hayes was
summoned and rendered necessary medi-
cal attention. He has regained con-
seriousness and there is every indication
that he will recover.
