A man by the name of Lahners,
son of George Lahners, living about
four miles east of Morris, was quite
badly injured Wednesday morning
when his team ran away and threw
him from the wagon. He had just
finished unloading oats at the Eich
elevator and was getting into the
wagon, when the horses started to
run and went out of the elevator
building on the gallop and before
young Lahners could get the lines
They went as far as the Richards
residence on Pacific avenue and fin
ally stopped by running into a large
tree, throwing Lahners out onto the
hard ground. A bone in one of his
legs just above the knee was cracked
but not broken and he was badly
shaken up, but is expected to be out
in a couple of weeks. He was taken
home during the afternoon and is
now resting comfortably. The wagon
was completely wrecked and two
good-sized trees we're broken off at
the roots by the horses in their mad
flight. Mr.. Landers knew that he
had lively team and was watching
them close, but they started so quick
that he could not get the lines be-
fore they were out of the elevator.
