attended the wedding here Tuesday
Saturday while hauling wood
from the mountains Ben snd Henr,
Luchtefeld had one II the worst
wrecks with , 4.horse load that
has happened here for some time.
They we're hauling from Joe
Hatke's place and were on their
way home when the accident occur,
ed. They were loaded heavy and
"a they started down the steep hill
the break pulled over center OF
what is known ~ chopped over
aud refused to work. The load
shot onto the horses 90 hard that
they failed 10 make . sharp turn
Ito the road where tree was stand.
ing near the outer edge of the turn
crowding the outer horse 90 badly
that he started past the wrong side
Of the tree. This horse was stripped
Of his harness and left lying on the
side Of the road. There was nc
possibility Of controlling the load
and oil the boys could do was To
hold on and with only one lead
and ono wheel line left In hand
the fight down the mountain wss
continued. The fright Of the horses
by this time Was sufficient to spur
them on TO their utmost to keer
ahead Of the runaway load which
at times shot on to them 60 hard
that it nearly piled them. Wher
nearly down the grade one runner
struck . stump, the tongue knock
ing down the other wheel horse. th'
rack shooting over the sled ontt
the horse crushing one hind leg in
. pulp. The leaders received ,
terrible shock by the sudden stol
and one was badly bruised On,
sprained though NO serious injur,
was sustained. Ben managed &
light on his feet but Henry fell be
tween the horses and that both re
ceived no serious injury seems mi
raculous. The boys unusal nerv'
BY staying with tho load and keep
ing the lead team out Of the wrecl
and how they managed to max
the short turns with one line wit
trees on both sides Of the roa
seems incradible. One Of the wheel
ers had to be killed ilnmedistel
and the other taken TO q neighbOr
whore . deep cut WAS tended to
The harness and rack are almost
total wreck. In speaking Of th
disaster Mr.. Lutchefeld said b
had much b be thankful for. Ths
the accident was due 10 careless
