Russell, the sixteen-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Wilson, of near Morning Sun, was almost instantly killed Saturday afternoon when a team he was driving ran away. The youth was hauling rock from quarry near by when the team became frightened and running away, threw him out, the wheels passing over his body, inflicting fatal injuries. A physician from Burlington was summoned, but all efforts to save him proved futile.
