DRAGGED BY HORSE
John kiIbom, Malvern Farmer, Saved
From Frightfu Death by Bravery OF
S. poIand-1ody Is Fearfuily Bruised

Special to Times-Republican.
Malvern, Sept. 17-Without doubt
one of the most remarkable escapes
from death and rescue, heard outside
of fiction, occurred near here, with
John Kilbom, well known farmer,
and S. Doland, q young man of the
neighborhood as the participants.
Kilbom- was engaged in roping some
horses on his farm, using common
lariats He made good throw and soon
had rractious horse at one end Of the
lariat In some way, when the horse
started to run, its fright being height
ened by the rope, the end in Kilbom's
hands became wound about one OF ms
feet, dragging him from his horse
Away ran the other horse, its fright
increasing at kilbom's cries, dragging
the unfortunate man over the rough
ground at frightful pace. kilbom
managed to get hold on the rope SO
that he could hold his head from the
ground, thus preventing his almost In
slant death, but yet unable to check
the animals mad race.
For half mile the horse ran with
it's human burden. It was nearing a
railroad crossing, where Mr.. Kilbom's
death would have been instant, and
certain, when the unusual sight was
witnessed by Doland. The young man
quickly wheeled his horse and with
great presence of mind turned his
mount squarely between Kilbom and
the runaway horse.
Catching the rope. which was a diff
cult fea., as he had to lean far over
fran his saddle, and all were going at
br sl;.neck speed. Doland managed to
get Il ha!f hitch around his saddle horn.
He then braced himself and slowly
checking the speed of the runaway
managed to choke it down just as the
railroad crossing doomed up few feet
away
Mr.. Kilbom was frightfully bruised
over every portion of his body. No
bones were broken, but his back and
limbs were lacerated and torn in
frightful manner. Only the nerve and
quick judgment of young Doland saved
MIR. Kilbom from frightful death.

proved to be Mr.. Hughes who had
hired buggy and horse from Munro
Bros livery stable that morning. The
animal which is known to horsemen
around town as the Stevens mare and
is a valuable creature, had one of its
legs badly cut and is probably manned
for life. Mr. Hughes gave HI. G. Mum

NO new DIVES
SAYS The CHIEF

The question of what to do with
the inmates who on Police Chief
Rice's orders were banished from
the Main and Yale blocks, the chief
this morning admitted is serious
and one which the police will en-
deavor to answer to the best of
their ability. The chief says that
he expects the eXiles to scatter to
the downtown blocks and residence
districts on the start, but that with
a little time they will be driven
out of town for good.
Since the order abolishing the
Main and Yale the chief has been
approached by real estate inter-
ests looking to the location of a
place to mobilize the inmates farth-
er from the center of the city and
where it would not be an eye-sore
to the public.
The chief gave these people
strictly to unders tand that when he
ordered the Main and Yale closed
he meant that under no conditions,
at present anyway, would other
such places be allowed. If it comes
to such pass that the police are
unable to handle the problem, then
the women may be modified once
more. But the chief does not fear
that such condition will come
