A Mrs. Weber of Sonora township
met with an accident in our city last
Friday, that might have been much
more serious than it was In climbing
into spring wagon right at the edge
of the walk and curb, she stepped
onto the step Of the wagon and took
herself up into the wagon. She was
quite a large and heavy woman and
her weight caused the seat to give
away at the opposite side of the
/ wagon, throwing her backward onto
the walk 1t just happened that
right behind her at the edge of the
walk was an iron hitching post and
/ in falling backwards the back of her
head struck the top of the post, cut
/ ting quite a large cash in her head
that bled profusely. in addition to
/ partially stunning her for few min
/ utes. She was taken to the office Of
! DIR. Runyon and son where her in
juries were cared for and shortly she
was able to start on her way home
