FATAL ACCIDENT.--Mr. Robert Broadwater of Bristol, Minn., was injured by the running away of his team last Sunday morning so seriously that death resulted in a few hours. His wife and daughter, who were in the carriage with him on the way to a son-in-law's, were likewise severely injured. Mrs. Broadwater who was thrown out some thirty feet from where her husband lay, crawled to him, but was so badly hurt that she could not even turn him from lying face downward until assistance came. Death came to the old gentleman, just as he reached his home. An honest man, a true husband and father, an exemplary citizen universally mourned by all who knew him.
