While John Swain Junior was driving to his home about four miles east of Merrill, his team of colts ran away throwing him to the ground and killing him almost instantly. As the driver fell, he became entangled in the lines and was dragged a quarter of a mile or more. He was about forty years old and leaves a wife and a large family of boys and girls.
