Show Last Sunday evening, Mr. Thos. (Thomas) Latimer, of the Salt Lake firm of Latimer Taylor & Co. (Company), with a party of six others was coming down Emigration Canyon in a spring wagon. When about five miles from the mouth, at a point where there is an abrupt declivity, about ten feet deep, to the right of the road, the off horse crowded the other off the steep. In a second both animals rolled down the decline. The tongue of the wagon struck the ground, causing the wagon to keel over from the back end and land on the horses, bottom side up. All the party was fortunate enough to jump in time to escape excepting Mr. Latimer, who went over with and under the vehicle, and got mixed up with the horses. It was feared at first that the unfortunate gentleman being in very delicate health was killed, but he escaped without any broken bones or dangerous injury. He was hurt about the chin and mouth, and bruised about the chest. Since the accident he has been confined to bed, and is being attended by Dr. (Doctor) Benedict. - Ogden Herald. |
