RUNAWAY TRAGEDY.
One Lady Instantly Killed and Anoth-
cr Lady Dying.

Near Monroe, Ga, Mrs. Henry
Richardson, we'll known Walton
country woman, was killed and her
sister, Mrs. John Palmer, was fatally
injured Thursday morning as the
result Of an accident with a runaway
team on the bridge at Bale Prong
creek, mile north from Monroe.
At the time Of the accident the two
women were on their way to town to
do some shopping. Just as they
drove onto the bridge they were met
by a runaway horse attached to a
buggy. The team was occupied by
Il negro woman and two children and
was driven by negro.
Mrs. Palmer, in attempting to get
out Of the way Of the vehicle caught
her dress on the step and was
thrown to the floor Of the bridge. The
horse ran over her, dragging the
buggy with him.
Mrs. Richardson escaped without
scar, yet, strange to say, she was
the first to die.
The excitement and worry in try
ing to care for her injured sister
caused congestion Of the lungs, from
which she died. The wounded wo-
man w:s at once removed to the w.
l.. Wood place on the Gratis road,
four miles from Monroe, where she
and Mrs. Richardson resided.
Remarkable to say, the driver and
other occupants of the runaway bug
gy escaped with only few scratches
