In the Senate and the House the concluding session was brief and was devoted to bits of legislation and routine business that had been left over from yes- terday’s protracted sittings.

They were léad- ing another horse, which Jean in- tended to ride to’drive up the cows, behind the buggy. In some manner the horse they were lead- ing got his foot in the wheel and frightened the horse that they, were driving which ran away and turned the buggy over catching Mrs. Radford under it and drag- ging her some distance. The horse with the wrecked buggy at his heels ran to the house. Mrs. Joe Radford, who happened to be there, ‘summoned assistance and ran to the pasture where Mrs Radford was found with her right shoulder badly bruised and the ligaments torn and her leg broken just above the ankle.
