INJURED IN RUNAWAY.
Frightened Team Overturns Rig and
Seriously Injuries Occupants.

A party of five hunters returning
home on Sunday afternoon from a
trip a few miles north of the city in
search of wolves, met with a run
away accident in which all were
more or less injured, and some OF
them quite seriously. In the party
We're X. w. Knutson, F. w. Boyd,
H. T. Barthell, Henry Davidson and
VIM. Miller. When they were this
side of the Frank Jewell farm just
north of town they met A. o. Samp-
son in his auto. Mr.. Sampson stop
ped his machine promptly when he
saw that the horses were frightened
the other, pushed it off the side of
the road, and the heavy vehicle, a
canopy-topped light wagon, turned
upside down, with the occupants be-
meath it. Fortunately the horses
broke away as the rig turned over
or it might have been much worse.
The horses ran south toward De-
corah, turning at the corner and
running up toward the j. j. Rosa
farm, where they were stopped and
brought to town by two young men.
One or two of the men managed
to crawl out from under the rig, but
the others were pinned under so that
the wagon had to be lifted in order
to eXtricate them. When this was
done, it was found that Henry
Davidson's left leg was broken be-
low the knee, both bones, H. t.
Barthell's wrist and arm was badly
sprained, VIM. Miller's back,
shoulders and neck severely sprain-
ed, while X. w. Knutson's face
looked like he had been in a prize
fight, being terribly scratched and
cut. F. w. Boyd escaped with only
a few minor bruises. Mr.. Davidson
was holding the gun between his
legs when the accident happened,
and in the fall the gun stock was
broken in two, which probably caus-
ed the fracture of his leg.
The wagon was badly demolished,
and was sorry looking sight when
brought to town.
