While going down a very steep hill,
one of the horses fell and Mr.. Me-

was pulled to the ground with great
force. He struck on the side Of his
head, and the wagon ran across his
chest. He was injured internally, dy-
ing within few minutes. Mr.. Ne
sheim was a very heavy man and the
force of the fall was considerable.
He was rendered unconscious by the
fall, making but few disconnected
statements before his death.
Mrs. Nesheim notified Coroner Doe
at once, and Mr.. Doe, accompanied by
J. D. VanFleet, the undertaken, went
at once to the scene of the accident,
