made 'a miracnlous escape last Tuesday
from what might have been a very seri
on s accident. 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. In a
few minutes be regained consciousness
and overtook the horses and,-wagon.
