Accidentally Killed.
Spring Grove Herald:—Richard Dunn, a highly respected citizen of Winnebago township, was accidentally killed near Caledonia, Minnesota, Tuesday. He was on his way home ward from town, driving a team hitched to a lumber wagon, and seated in a spring seat, when in some unaccountable way he fell to the ground striking on his head and sustaining injuries from which death resulted immediately. The wagon seat was found near the body, but the horses had proceeded onward about two miles from where the accident occured. The accident occurred about one mile south of Caledonia near what is known as the Felton hill. Mr. Dunn has for several years been a member of the board of supervisor of Winnebago township and was a man of influence and good standing in the neighborhood.
