Horrible Haying Accidents.
Tuesday near Lawler, Martin Wandersched, aged 15 yean, was killed while hauling a load of hay. He and his father each had a load and were driving home. Martin’s load partly slipped out on the horses which frightened them and threw him forward under the wheels. The wagon passed over him and he died from the injuries received.

Martin Wanderscheid of Lawler, 15 years old, was killed when the team he was driving ran away and into the team ahead. The shock threw the young man from the load, both wheels of the loaded wagon passing over his body.
