Lime Springs.

A serious accident befell oue{sic} of our well to-do farmers here, Mr. Christian Grabau, last Thursday. On his way home from Lime Springs, it being quite late in the evening, his horses got frightened at something along the road, and ran madly over a field where the wagon was upset and landed squarly{sic} on the unfortunate man, killing him instantly. The funeral services were held Sunday at the diseased's{sic} residence, where many hearts sympathized with the bereaved family.
