Killed in a Runaway.
Webster City, Sept. 18.—Samuel McComb, for forty years a resilient of this county, and one of the oldest settlers, was instantly killed last night while driving to town in a buggy. A runaway team crashed into his buggy, and the hoofs of the runaway horses struck him in the back and in the head, with fatal results.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born in 1840 and is buried in Graceland Cemetery.
