Life.
Cresco, Feb. pa. G. Glass of the
T. E. Glass Grocery Co.. while attempt
ing to stop a runaway team hitched to
one Of the Standard on Co.'s large
tank wagons, was thrown under the
wheels and seriously injured. The
ground was icy where he FELL and he
was thrown in such position that one
ankle was caught by front wheel,
and his head caught by rear wheel
81 the wagon, and he was pushed along
the ground by the wheels for about
twenty feet. The brakes were set
hard, and the rear wheels were sliding
along the ground, and this probably
saved him from being run over and
crushed. His scalp was so badly torn
that the surgeons found 1t necessary
20 take twenty stitches in dressing it.
He lost consciousness about three
hours after the accident, and remain
ed so during the remainder of the
lay, and serious internal injuries are
feared.
