While coming along i rough road east of town in his 4-horse wagon one of the front wheels went into a chuck hole, throwing Perry forward with his leg down between the brake comb and the wagon bed. He fell on over and was horizontally suspended by his leg, and as the horses could not be stopped, he was dragged in this condition- about 50 yards, bis head thumping the frozen ground;every step. Finally he was jarred loose and fell to the ground with a heavy thud, and, to add to his pain, one of the wheels ran . over his leg andbruised it :up considerably.
