home from town after buying load
of supplies, etc, and had made the
greater share of the trip to his home
on the old Mittlestcdcr place east Of
Hazelton when the horses evidently be-
came frightened and threw him out.
His watch and pencil were found in
the road just north of the main road
where Porter had turned in at his own
lane The buggy tracks showed that
the team had left the road and plunged
in northwcsterly direction through
a corn-iield. They had circled couple
of times, the first time breaking the
buggy pole. After running some dis
lance across the corn-feld, the rig hit
ia post and the team broke loose, also
releasing the driver who had evidently
been tangled in the lines. The team
then went home and two of the smaller
children started out to look for their
father, finding him only Il few minutes
later. They notified HaZelton people.
