A Fatal Accident.
N. I. Times;—Last Friday afternoon [Aug. 21st,] Geo. Muegge in company with his two little boys and his brother from New York, started to drive home from Clayton. They had been at Clayton for a few days’ fishing. When nearly up the Clayton hill, the horses became frightened at a man approaching on a bicycle, and whirled around throwing Mr. Muegge about twenty feet, striking the rocks on his face and breast. His head and face were frightfully lacerated and he died Saturday about noon from the injuries.

The sad accident that resulted in the death of George Muegge came upon our people like a thunder bolt and the sympathy of all is with the afflicted family. He was a useful man and universally liked and respected and will be missed by the people of Communia.
