J. W. PendIetOn Fell Under
Wheels After
Jumping.
INJURIES ARE VERY SERIOUS.
Physician, After Examination,
Fears Injuries May
Be Fatal.

Information reached here early
yesterday morning of what may
prove a fatal accident to Mr.. j. w.
PendIeton, whose home is 10 or IL
miles from the city, on the Canton
road, and about q miles from Ju-
liam.
Mr.. Pendleton was on a wagon
with his son, who was driving. The
wagon was heavily loaded with green
lumber, and on approaching a hill
Mr.. Pepdleton jumped from the
wagon while it was in motion to
tighten the load for his team. When
he jumped one foot struck q stone
and he was thrown backyard under
the left hind wheel, which passed
over him between the breast and
stomach. His son looked behind
him and saw his father lying in the
road and rushed to- his assistance.
Mr.. Pendleton was suffering greatly,
and as soon as possible DR.. Caudle
was summoned.
During the night the unfortunate
man was in the greatest agony which
could not be relieved except by the
frequent use of an anaesthetic. Ow-
ing to the great pain Mr.. Pendleton
was enduring, only preliminary ex-
animation could be made, but DR..
Caudle expressed fears that his pa
tient cannot recover from his inju-
res. A fuller examination was to
be made by DR.. Caudle and DR.. R3s-
coe yesterday.
