Farmer Thrown From Wagon Seat
on Moran Battle-Ground by
His Little Son.
IS KILLED BY ACCIDENT

Jacob schoedle, As years Of age,
was found dead by a young son on
Moran prairie at 5 o'clock this morn
ing. The body lay beside the wagon
and presumably had been in the same
spot all night, the old farm team
not moving out of their tracks when
they realized that something had hap
pened to their master.
r. NJ. Hauff and j. M. Flemming,
neighbors of Schoedle, brought word
OF the accident to Coroner Smith to-
day, and the latter, after hearing the
full particulars, decided the case was
purely an accident and that an in
quest would not be necessary.
According to the story told the cor
oner, Schoedle was in town yesterday
and spent the day with his neighbor,
William Isner. They started on the
return together and both went to the
home of another neighbor, named Oil
yer. where each got a load OF seed
wheat. Early in the evening they
started home from divers house.
Schoedle reached the home of
George Miller a quarter of mile
from his own home. when. from ap-
pearances, his wagon ran into a gully
and he was thrown out by the shock.
The wagon was spring affair and
had a spring seat. The team had not
moved foot all night the body be-
ing found directly across one OF the
front wheels. Beyond a slight bruise
on the left side and a bruise on the
head no marks were found on the
body. The coroner is of the belief
that the mans neck was broken by
the fall.
Shoedle's family became uneasy be-
cause he did not return home last
night and at daybreak today one of
the six children. young son, started
out to find him. The body was taken
to the Schoedle home. The accident
occurred II miles southeast of the
city, on the line between Richlahd
and Moran prairies.
