Gum Daniel, wife and daughter
made a lucky escape from what
might have been a sad affair on last
Saturday evening; they wero iu n
wagon and one ot the horses became
very much frightened and they ran
against a stump throwing Mr. Daniel
out of the wagon, but leaving his
wife and daughter in the wagon; they
succeeded in climbing out of the back
part of the wagon and escaped uninjured.
The horses continued to ruu
until the tongue of the wagon struck
a tree, completely demolishing the
tongue and other parts of the wagon,
also turning tho horses a somersault
or two. The runaway did not hurt
anyone, but such a sudden stopping
jarred the horses up considerbly.
