Show ACCIDENT TO A TEAM. On Tuesday last as Wm. (William) Hendricks and wife, of Richmond, were travelling to Logan, they met with a very unfortunate adventure. They were riding in a light spring wagon and had reached a point a short distance south of Hyde Park, when a single-tree fell. This frightened the horses and they leaped forward and started to run, causing the tongue to drop from the neck yoke. The end of the remaining portion caught in the ground, halting the wagon suddenly and throwing its occupants with great violence a considerable distance. Mr. H. (Hendricks) was so badly stunned as to be speechless for a few minutes. No bones were broken but both were badly bruised. The horses, detached from the wagon, kept on their mad career, and ran against a barbed wire fence which cut open the side of one of them in a terrible manner, but did not kill it. Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks were conveyed to Logan that afternoon, and called on Dr. (Doctor) Ormsby. Bruises and contusions were the extent of their injuries. |
