G. A. Waggoner of this city participated, occurred at Scio last week. With Mrs. Lura Irvine, her sister and a third lady, Mrs. W(aggoner.was passing along the street in a buggy, when a heavy team of runaway horses with wagon attached struck them. The runaways came from one side, and one horse passed in front of their horse, and the other between the horse and buggy. The pole of the wagon passed between the ladies and the back of their buggy seat. The buggy was crushed in an unrecognizable mass, with the ladies in the debris, '. and the en tangled horses tramping over them. Some idea of the character of the accident is gained by the fact that and unloading, malrme' Sao tne cost the buffe-v- m its everv Dart was so hi transporting the boat from .

Prof. Pernot left yesterday by train to meet at Elk City, Scott King who will reach Elk City to night with the boat. ' badly, smashed that, it cannot be repaired, and is a total loss. An other remarkable feature, is that with the exception of bruises, both Mrs. Waggoner and ner sister es caped unhurt. Mrs. Ifoung, ; who is a sister-in-law of Mrs. A. J Jonnson ot tms city, and a cousin of Mrs. Waggoner h.ad a finger broken, and two painful scalp wounds. .' .
