Fatal Accident.

On Saturday last M. R Tilson who resided one mile west of town while engaged in hauling clover was thrown from the load by the starting of the team and thrown violently to the frozen ground striking his head. He was rendered insensible from the force of the fall, and did not fully rally from its effects, although, about midnight he answered a question or two by an affirmative, yes, but finally sunk away to an eternal sleep, dying at about two o'clock Sunday afternoon.
