Young Hinds, who was on his way to visit some relatives near Nor rlsville. was sitting in the rear of light wagon wh.l within about two miles of the above mentioned town, the road wagon and its occupants were overtaken by a team of runaway mules hitched to a large farm wagon.
 Either the driver did not realize the danger In time to prevent 1t or the un- certain light in the early evening made 1t impossible for him to steer clear of the mules and wagon: The consequence was that Young Hinds was struck in the back by the end of the wagon tongue, the mules themselves going on each side of the lighter vehicle, and broke loose from the harness continued their mad pace down the road. It appears that there was no driver on the wagon to which the mules were hitched. The negro driver with the boy was badly shaken up but other wise Is all right.

Kelley was called in After thor ough examination the physician announce ed the young fellow considerably bruised and perhaps injured internally.

ROME JURY STILL
 FAILS TO AGREE
Judge Wright Thinks He Will Not Dis charge Members for Sew
 era Days.

Rome, Ga, August 9.-The jury in the Sanford case Is still out at 10 o'clock tonight and there is no likelihood of their reaching a verdict. It Is generally believed that a mistrial will be the re- suit. Judge Moses Wright, in conver- sation with the Associated Press repre- sentative, stated. that he could not tell when. he would call the jury in for an inquiry or whether he would declare mistrial. rtf
 He was certain however, that no mis- trial would be declared very soon unless his mind changed. He further stated that he would like very much for the pres ent jary to make a verdict if possible. Another trial would be quite expensive to the county, and a Jury would be hard to get for the reason that so many citi- zens of the county had heard all or a part of the testimony in the present trial. It may be several days before there are any new developments in the case.
