Wallaces Hurt When Mule Bolts, July 4, 1926

Three Are Hurt When Mule Runs. . . Animal Drawing Buggy Becomes Frightened and Dashes Away—Trio Injured

Mrs. Richard Wallace of the Stevens Mill section, her daughter and her husband were more or less painfully injured while en route to this city yesterday morning and at the point some miles distant from town when the mule which was drawing the buggy in which they were riding became frightened and ran away.

The family were thrown from the buggy when this was overturned and Mrs. Wallace received various cuts and bruises about the head, face and shoulders. Their baby, which was in the mother’s arms at the time, escaped unhurt.

The buggy was badly damaged but the mule, which was later caught and calmed, was unhurt.
