Thrown out Of Runaway Buggy
and Sustains Many Injuries

Mrs. John Scott, who resides
nine miles east oil this city met
with a most serious accident last
Wednesday. Mr.. and Mrs. Scott
were on their way to Rudolph to
get the mail and were driving
a couple OF young horses to the
buggy. Mr.. Scott alighted on the
way to fix a fence and left his wife
to hold the reins.
The horses became frightened
and ran, Mrs. Scott was unable
TO hold them as they dashed down
the road. The lady became hys-
terlcal and threw the lines out of
the buggy, giving the horses full
vent TO their fright.
They ran Tor near a quarter OF
a mile when the vehicle was over
turned in a pile OF rough and loose
stones. Mr.. Scott was thrown
out and severely bruised. She sus.
tanned severe scalp wounds and
her physician SAYS that her escape
from death was miraculous. Her
entire scalp was torn from the
skull. Seven stitches were requir-
ed TO sew up cash which was cut
on her forehead.
The latest report is that she
is resting as easy as could he ex
pected after such an adventure.
The harness and the buggy were
completely destroyed.
