RUNAWAY CAUSES
FATAL ACCIDENT

1t is with reluctance that we at
tempt to portray the accident which,
occurred at nine o'clock Friday morn
ing near the A. E. Patrick ranch, six
miles south east of Holyoke. TIL,
team which Miss Iva Goddard was
driving became unmanagable and in
attempting to stop them one line was
broken. This caused the team to
swerve apd Miss Goddard was
thrown into the front wheel. The
horses ran several rods with Miss
Goddard fastened in the wheel. In
the wagon were Mrs. Zeta Holmes
and small son, sister and nephew
of Miss Goddard. Both remain
ed in the vehicle during the two and
one half miles which the team ran
before being stopped by A. E. Pat
rick, who saw the runaway and i'm
msdiatly gave chase in his car.
Clark Penwell was the first to reach
Miss Goddard and. she breathed but
twice. Both limbs were broken, one
fractured in two, head and face lit
orally beaten to pulp and inter-
nally injured.
Mrs. Holmes and son were unin-
iured- when rescued. The women had
started to the homestead of Miss
Goddard and had fractions team
but apparently We're not afraid of
them.
This was the second fatal acci-
dent in the Goddard family in the
last five years. The father, Ira
Goddard, fell from loaded hay
rack. and was killed.
The deceased was forty years of
age and was noted for her kind and
pleasing personality. She made her
home with her sister, Mrs. Holmes,
great deal, and this will be ter
rible blow to to her and children
Besides the one sister, three hall
brothers and one half sister remair
to mourn her untimely death. The
remains were taken to Chase. Ne.
braska Saturday, where the funera
was held. Rev. Tabor of Wray con.
