With the score standing six to

Wright pulled the team off the

Wright and County Physician lIay-

hogs came up and commenced root
ing around the buggy and making
a noise. The horse, which is nat.
urally Of a quiet disposition, took
no notice Of the animals for time
until they became thick around his
legs, he then became alarmed and
attempted to make an escape. In
the meanwhile the hogs had COM
pletely surrounded the buggy and
when the horse started to run the
buggy wheels were bouncing over
the hogs. The horse only gave .
few violent lunges until q wheel
was broken from the buggy and
went bounding toward the fence.
Those who saw the accident say the
wheel had such a momentum that II
bounded over the top of the fence
and fully forty yards into the field
before it stopped. Both occupants
of the buggy were hurled into the
air. Mr.. Tucker fell on his head,
and sustained serious injuries. Miss
Smith escaped with > number of
painful bruises.
