Show Ah AWFUL ACCIDENT. Tuesday, June 23rd. Soren P. Jensen left Ephraim to attend the Jubilee at Manti. He arrived at Manti about 9 o'clock and haV j' to unload the children and wife llom the wagon he drove to the rest jlnce of N. R. Petersen. In so doin he alighted and having tied the linll to ' the brake succeeded in gettingKthe family out of the wagon before the horses began to run. But no more than doing this the horses became terribly frightened and ran at a rapid rate towards the fence. Jensen was caught, between the fence and the wagon the front wheel passed by without any effect, but unlucky, as it was the hub of the hind wheel struck him just above the knee and braking his thigh bone. Bp. Reid, and others of Manti, being close at hand carried him to the house of N. R Petersen. C. C. A. Christensen, of Ephraim, sped on his way to secure the assistance of Mr Jensen's Son to take the father home where the services of Dr. Olsten could be completed as he had lucky enough been secured at Manti shortly after the accident occured. The pain endured by the unlucky man on his way home can only be realized by those having had to pass through similiar ordeals. Dr. Olsten left him in very comfortable com-fortable circumstances, considering the painful situation. The Register extends their heart felt sympathy for Mr. Jenten and family. |
