Last Saturday night while Tom Abel was coming home from Emmett he met with an accident which shook him up considerable. In the morning of the same day B. T. Conaway had driven to St. Marys and while going down a hill the holdback gave way and let the buggy run upon the horse which frightened it so it ran away. That evening, Mr. Abel was driving the same horse, and when near the Henry Schwarz farm he overtook a couple of young men from town who were walking home from the steam shovel and who asked permission to ride. As he pulled up on the lines to stop the horse, the buggy ran forward a little which again frightened the horse and it ran away throwing Tom out of the buggy, dislocating one of his arms and other wise bruising him up. He is able to be about, but has remained at home this week.
