c ON POINT OF
PLoW BY RUNAWAY TEAM

Aberdeen. S. D.-Roy Webb, a
young farmer residing two miles from
Aberdeen, suffered a peculiar acct
dent which may cost him his life.
While operating a gang nlow drawn
by five horses, something went
wrong with the harness, and he stop
ped in front of the horses to fix it.
The animals were young, and they
became frightened and ran. Webb
was thrown beneath the gang pillow,
and was caught in the back between
the legs by the point of a pillow and
dragged for some distance, a horrible
wound being caused, in which his in
testines were exposed. The man lay
in the field. unable to move, for sew
eral hours when a neighbor found
him and he was rushed to an ,Aber.
deem hospital. If blood poisoning does
not insue. physicians believe. his life
can be saved.
