UNDER THE ' DRAG. PROSTRATE WOMAN TiERE, ASD UXDER RUNAWAY POESES FEET, ' '; There Were Four Horses in the Team, and a Harrow Behind The Drag Mrs. Ralls of jVIonroe Passed Under all and Escaped Alive. x Mrs. Cliff Ralls, lies at her home near Monroe seriously injured. The fact that she is not in her grave is almost miraculous. Last Tues day, she was knocked down and run over by a runaway four horse team, which also dragged over her a combined clod-masher and har row, such as is in use on many farms. The accident happened while Mrs. Ralin was alone in the field with the outfit. She often works a field, and was so engaged on this occasion. In the team of four horses there was one animal that was not well broken. It became necessary for Mrs. Ralls to stop the team to adjust a check rein on the unbro ken horse. As she did so. the ani mal shied and knocked her down. The incident started the whole team and as they dashed away, Mrs. Ralls was prostrate under their feet. Then came tne clod masher, a machine so heavy that four horses are usually required to draw it. Attached to it behind is an ordinary drag harrow arrangement in which however, the teeth slope backward. Mrs. Ralls passed completely under this awful contri vance, and for a wonder, lives to tell the tale. The flight of the horses attracted the attention of others in the vicinity and help was soon at hand. Mrs. Ralls was taken home where she now lies with many bruises and cuts, but happily with no injury so serious as to cause alarm. . . ' Mrs. Ralls is a' daughter of Wes ley Hinton of Monroe and a niece of Mrs. Martha Burnett of this city. HER BURIAL. And Something About her Career - Was a Native of Southern Benton.
