NARROW ESCAPE
In A RUNAWAY
BUB SHARP HAS LEG BROKEN
AND FOOT MASHED AND 9TH.
ERWlSE INJURED.

Bub Sharp, young farmer living
near Stiversville, sustained very Sc
rious injuries and had narrow es-
cape from death in handling young
horse on Saturday afternoon. He
had the horse hitched to a cart and
driving on Fry branch when the &C
cident occurred. Getting out of the
cart for moment he started back
when his foot caught in the spokes OF
the wheel and the horse commenced
to run. Sharp's leg was broken in
two places below the knee and his
foot also mashed and he sustained
other injuries before the horse could
be stopped. No doubt Sharp would
have been killed but for the timely
appearance Of neighbors who stopped
the runaway horse. He has dragged
for some distance over q rough road
and it is feared that he may have sus.
tanned internal injuries. He Is about
eighteen years Of age and son of
Will Sharp, who lives near the Giles
county line.
