Hon. Richard !. Manning Of Sum-

press he makes it clear that he favors
the retention of the State Gispensary

the States commercial and agricultu-
raj interests. We heartily endorse the
personality of the man, but we can

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Mr. and Mrs. NJ IL. Beck Injured By
Frightened Animals.

From the Daily Item May 26.
Yesterday afternoon a very serious
accident was narrowly averted. Mr.
n. II. Beck, who was in a buggy with
his wife, was run over by a pair Of
frightened horses, both Of the occu-
pants OF the buggy were badly bruised,
and it seems an oct of Providence that
they escaped with their lives.
y young negro was driving a pair
Of horses from Epperson's stable, and
when the team arrived at the intersec-
ton Of Main and Bartlett streets, the
pin that holds the pole in place drop
ped out, the pole fell between the legs
of the horses and they started down
Bartlett street at high speed. Mr.. and
Mrs. Beck had just left their front
gate in a buggy and had started for
drive. Mr.. Beck heard the horses
coming behind him at what he. con-
sidered pretty fast gate, but paid lit
tie allGullOu 10 IQS1u, Ill IdCl, he WdS
unaware of his danger until the fright
ened horses dashed over him, his wife
and the buggy, throwing them violent
ly from the vehicle and causing them
very painful injuries.
One of the runaway horses had two
Of his legs caught in the fifth wheel
Of Mr.. Beck's demolished buggy, and
was held there until e1tricated. This,
of course, held the other horse.
Mr.. Beck was unconscious for short
while, but revived sufficiently to so to
the aid of his wife, who was evident
ly badly hurt. She did not regain
consciousness for some time after the
accident Fortunately for Mr.. and
Mrs. Beck none Of their bones were
fractured, but both Of them are badly
bruised from the fall and from having
the horses run over them. They are,
however, not seriously hurt, and will
be entirely we'll in few days.
