 4 RUNAWAY
Muria Sanders Met Tragic Death
 Sunday Morning.

The uncertainty of life was very viyidly brought to the attention of Springdale people Sunday afternoon, when the report reached here that
 Miss MurialE Sanders, daughter of
 Mrs E. H. Sanders, residing two and one-half miles south of town, had been killed in a runaway.
 The young lady left home Sunday morning, full of life and it's possibil- ities, and before the evening sun had cast it's last rays she had passed in- to the great unknown. She started to Sunday School. driving a horse that has been in the family for some time, and although at times fraetious was not considered dangerous by the members of the family. After at tending Sunday School the unfortu- nate young lady, accompanied by her friend and neighbor, Miss May Grah. am, daughter of Bob Graham, start ed home. At the top of a hill, near the home of Bayless Lucas, the bug gy was stopped to allow the Graham girI to alight and go home Ks she got out the Sanders girl remarked that she hoped the horse would not runaway again. This remark was caused by the fact that three weeks before the hold back broke on the same horse. and he ran down the hill. In the buggy at this time was the mother and the daughter, but they succeeded in stopping the runaway without any damage. Soon after leaving the Graham girl and just as she neared to the top of the hill starting down, the horse broke; just what scared the animal and started the death ride will never be known as there were no eye witness es to the starting; the horse ran considerable distance down the hill i, and was going at break-neck speed when first seen by Mrs Bayless Lucas. The young lady was stand ing up in the seat, evidently trying to get out. when a few rods farther on the buggy hit a small ditch in the road. and the girl was thrown out. She fell into small ditch near the roadside which had just been plowed, and the fall dislocated her neck. Parties hurried to the scene and carried the girl to her home, but she never reganed consciousness, and died about two thirty, the aeei dent happening about eleven-t thirty The horse continued on to the house, where it stopped near the barn
 Funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church, Monday after noon, conducted by the pastor, Rev W. l. Elledge, of which church the deceased was member, and the large crowd gathered to pay their last tribute attested to the numerous friends the young lady had through out this section. The floral tributes
 were especially fine, and were prob ably the largest ever seen in Sprngdale. For his sermon Rev. Elledge used text from the Sth chapter of Romans, AS it is written, for Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter The services were made more beautiful by a solo by Miss Pauline Bevers, singing The Holy City" Rev. Elledge paid high tribute to the Christian char aeter of the deceased, and that she will be missed in the home, the Sun School. of which she was a member. lnterment was made in Bluff Gene tery.
 Murial Sanders was born in Madi- sen County. near Huntsville, Janu- ary lst, 1898. Her father, E. H. Sanders, proceeded her to the grave few years ago, and beside her mother she leaves two brothers, Claud and Arthur, who are located in the West, and two sisters, Lora and Mrs. Harry Brogdon, both of this place.
 The sorrowing family have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends throughout this section, and The News joins with them in expressing condolence and gravest regrets. A more extended obituary will be giv- en next week by Rev. Elledge.
