While returning home from Elmer

]. S. Fisher and son Corbett met with
what came near being a very serious
accident. About mile out of Elmer
the harness on the horse which they
were driving became entangled, and
the horse, being young and spirited
one, began a mad dash for the woods
which lay on both sides of the road
Corbett was thrown out by the sud
den plunge of the horse and the wagon
ran over his chest. Mr.. FISHER seeing
that trying to hold the horse was use
less, jumped and landed on his head
and was stretched in the road uncon-
scious.. Corbett, although suffering
intense pain, regained his feet and
knelt down by his father, and with the
aid of a little water, brought him back
to consciousness. Employees of Mr..
Fisher, happening along about this
time hastily returned to Elmer and
brought a new team and doctor, who
dressed the wounds of the unfortunate
men, and at present they are conval-
escing. The runaway horse, after
demolishing the wagon, returned to
Elmer. Mr.. Fishers money box con-
tanning over thousand dollars, was
found nearly mile from the scene Of
