Taking advantage of a shift OF MS
wagon which would give him the pro
per impetus, Marion Williams, butcher
of the Peoples Meat & Livestock COM
pany, took long leap to liberty dur
ing an exciting runaway about mile
east of Kimberly yesterday morning,
with the result that he found himself
seated in safety in deep mud with
three feet of water flowing around !
and over him, while the team, after
tearing the railing off a bridge over
the coulee, piled up against a bank
grooming but uninjured.
Williams and Thomas Tallmadge
started out from Kimberly with the
delivery wagon yesterday morning to
bring a supply of meat from the
slaughter house about two miles east
of town, and were running along nice
~ when for some unknown reason the
tongue dropped Williams, who was
driving, tried to apply the break, as
they were going down hill, only to flnd
that it would not work. Whenever the
horses tried to stop the wagon bump
ed them. Finally they became uncon-
trollable and started at mad pace
up the road. AS they were approach
ing the bridge, Tallmadge either
jumped out or was thrown out II
looked for a moment as If the rig
would be upset in the lateral with
Williams underneath it, so just before
the bridge was reached, when the
wagon gave a lurch toward the water,
Williams took advantage of 1t to make
flying spring into the ditch, which
was about three feet deep and running
over a bed of cozy mud. He struck on
, his feet but instantly set down quite
forcibly and went to the bottom, COM
= ing up wet, dirty, cold and uninjured.
, The horse next to the stream suddenly
5 swerved after Williams fell and thus
3 avoided upsetting the rig, but the
rails of the bridge were swept off. The
horses ran about 40 rods further
crossing coulee, when they switched
off the road against bank and one
|, fell down, with the other on top OF
him. Williams found them and the
wagon uninjured.
