HORRIBLE MISRAP
NEAR MT. OLIVE

A most distressing accident oc
CURED Wednesday on the J. NJ. Mil
Ter farm, one half mile north of Mt
. i've, which resulted in the death O
David F. Coffman, one of the brightest
and most popular young men of thai
section. The dead man is survived
by widow and one little child.
The man was most horribly mutt,
iate1 though just how the accident
occurred will never be known, as there
were no eye witnesses 10 the tragedy.
The discovery of Coffman lying in
his own blood was made by Mr.. Chas.
Harmon, who was passing by and
saw the mans condition. An ex-
animation disclosed that Coffman' 5
left jaw was broken; the right side OF
his skull fractured; hole had been
gouged in the back of his head; all of
his front teeth ground out, and his
nose and lips crushed to pulp.
As quickly as he could Mr.. Ham
mon summoned assistance and the in
iured man carried into Nh. Miller's
home ard Dr. R. M. Hoffman was
,mmond. DIR Hoffman made a hasty
examination, and summond his father,
DR.. S. j. Hoffman, from Woodstock.
Fortunately the man had been rem.
dered unconscious and he remained in
that condition from the time he was
f)und, about noon, up until 6 80, when
he died.
Mr.. Coffman had gone to the Miller
place to get a wagon bed on his rum
ming gear, his intention being to go
from there to Stras5urg Junction to
get load OF coal.
The accident happened while he was
lowering the wagon bed with a block
and tackle on to his wagon. The
cause is not known, but it is thought
that the horses must have become
frightened and, in attempting to check
them, the unfortunate man let go of
The pulley ropes, causing the bed to
fall.
Judging from the wounds, the
wagon bed must have fallen on Mr..
Jotfman, and knocked him under the
wagon, and one or two of the wheels
passed over his face And it may be
hat the animals kicked him also, as
he nature and number of his wounds
we're so numerous and frightful.
David F. Coffman was % years old.
He was son of William j. Coffman,
q we'll known and substantial farmer
,f the Mt. Olive neighborhood
The deceased had been married some
ew years and is survived by young
Tife and child about two years old.
