Grandview, Ia., April 26 - Chas. Beik, living south of town met with what might have been a serious accident Monday morning. While driving three mules and one horse to a disc they became frightened in some way and started to run, throwing Mr. Beik off the disc, passing over his limbs, almost severing one heel which necessitated several stitches. It also broke out his front teeth and bruised him up considerably other ways. Mr. Beik's friends are all glad the accident was no worse.
