Last Friday Will Freeman started
to Elkhorn after load of eggs,

He had contracted to take load of
empty egg cases out and bring back a
load of eggs. He started out about
three in the morning taking with him
his little nephew, Jack O'Connell.
After they had gotten out about half
way he concluded he would feed his
team as they had started early, and
unhitched one trace and unbridled
them and set the box on the neck
yoke for them to eat from as they had
always been SO gentle and kind. Jack
was still on the wagon and by some
movement shuffied the boxes, fright
ening the team which jumped and
ran. Will could do nothing and was
knocked over and the wagon ran over
him, bruising him up and knocking
him senseless. Jack ran to neigh.
Dor and secured help and the team
which ran but short distance was
hitched to a buggy and Will was
brought to town where he is mending
nicely.
