| George Somers was the unfortunate
victim of runaway Wednesday. II
seems that Mr.. Somers, son, Albert,
and his brother. Ed Somers, were abou.
one mile north of town when the two
men got out of the wagon to adjust
the brides of the horses. The high
strung team became frightened ana
began to run. AS they passed George
Somers, they knocked him down and
the calk on the shoe of one of the
horses severed an artery on his left leg.
Meanwhile. Albert was in the wagon
and the team going at full spesd and
without brides. Mr.. Somers got up,
not realizing that he was hurt, and
started after the running horses. Albert
jumped from the wagon and fortunate
ly escaped without being injured. by
this time Mr.. Somers was getting very
weak from the loss of blood.
