TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
NEAR NORTH BRANCH
Mrs. julia Wilkins Thrown From a
Cart and Dies From Effects.
(Calaveras Prospect. }

A terrible and most distressing
accident occurred on the Valley
Spring road last Tuesday night by
which Mrs Julia Wilkins, wife of
Robert Wilkins of Paloma received
injuries from which she died within
an hour. The accident occurred
about half way between North Branch
and Haupt's place at lonely place
OH the road, with no assistance nearer
than the two places named.
Mr. Wilkins and his wife left San
Andreas, where they had been on a
visit to their daughter, student of
the high school, at about 7 O'Clock,
driving a single horse attached to a
light road cart. At point on the
road near what is known as the
"Kobbers Tree the horse suddenly
SHE'D at something and Mrs Wilkins
was thrown from her seat. Her hus-
band tried to save her from falling
with one arm while with the other
hand he guided the horse. Finding
that he could not pull her back into
the cart, she told him to let her
drop, which he finally did.
MIS- Wilkins was wearing very
long closely buttnned ulster and this
proved to be caught on the step of
the cart, SO that instead Of falling,
she was dragged some distance, till
her husband jumped from the cart
and tore her loose. Though she
could not stand, she was perfectly
conscious and said she did not think
she was badly hut. Mr. wilkins
wrapped her in his coat and blanket
and then built a fire for warmth as
she complained Of being cold. Then
as no other course seemed possible
the horse and rig having disappeared
he haGtened back with all speed tC
North Branch for assistance,
lie found will Riley there and to
getber they returned to the injured
woman, who was conscious, though
still helpless. Riley then left TO-
Haupt's to procure a conveyance tt
remove the woman to shelter. M
wilkins talked with his wife for
short time, then went away about
hundred yards or so to get some Woo
to replenish the fire. On his return
he spoke to his wife but received n
answer He fastened to her side an
to his horror found that she was dead
The body was taken to Haupt's plac
where Q. F.. Walter, acting coroner
held an inquest the following day
The verdict was in accordance wit
the facts given above. II is the i'm
preston of those conversant with tn
circumstances ana from the appear
ance of the body, that death cam
rather from heart failure due {
the shock more than to any injuriC
sustained by the fall.
Mrs wilkins was born in Amadc
county, and was AZ years of age. Sh
was highly esteemed by all who kne
her. What makes the death part
oularly sad ia that she leaves seve
children, none of them yet full
grown, and the youngest only fou
years of age. She was a devoted vii
and mother aud the death is terribl
blow to the husband and children.
