Kinney Victims of Accident
Caused by Automobile.
Mrs. C. A. Sehlbrede' and Miss
Kinney, daughter of Major L. D
Kinney, were Injured in a runaway
on the KIttyvllle road near Supt.
Goldon's homo this morning in a run
away caused by an automobile. It
is not believed that either of the wo
men were seriously hurt, although
both are suffering severely from the
shock and bruises sustained by be
ing thrown from the rig. Their car
riage was destroyed and the team
ran wild into the city where they
were caught.
Miss Kinney was driving, having
her own rig. The team was quite
spirited, and when an automobile,
running at a high speed, met them
on a sharp curve, they became un
manageable. They turned quickly,
upsetting the carriage and throwing
the occupants out.
Aid soon reached the women and
arranged for Mrs. Sehlbrede's re
moval to the home of her son-in-law,
F. K. Gettins, in Marshfleld, and' Miss
Kinney to tho home of her father at
Plat B.
The Identity of the drivers of the
automobile are not known to the
victims. This afternoon, the ad
visability of prosecuting them for
scorching was being discussed. It Is
said that several witnessed the acci
dent from a comparatively short dis
tance and all agree that it was duo
to the carelessness of the automobile
driver.
