Mount Airy, July 17—John Flippin, a prominent farmer of Stokes county, died in the hospital here Tuesday evening of injuries received when his team ofm ules became frightened Monday as he was putting them in harness and ran away. Mr. Flippin attempted to hold the animals by the bridle and was dragged and trampled by them, suffering a fractured skull and other serious injuries. He was a man in the prime of life, prosperous and happy, the father of three small children. The accident caused much sadness in his community.
