Runaway Causes Death
Harley Snyder, who has been working for C. L. Holthues husking
corn, died early this morning from the result of injuries
received last night in a runaway accident. There is not much
evidence of the cause of the accident and no one seems to know
just how it happened. In some manner though the young man was
thrown under the wagon and the wheels ran over his chest and
crushed him quite badly. It was not thought last night that he
was seriously injured by early this morning he passed away and
evidently he was injured internally. The report is that he had
gotten up on the wagon at the end of the field to turn the team
around and in some way slipped down in front of the wagon and the
wheels ran over him. The accident happened at about four o'clock
after which he walked to the house and summoned a physician who
attended him and found several ribs broken. He seemed to rest
easy the fore part of the night but took a change for the worse
at about two o'clock and passed away at 5:40 this morning.
Mr. Snyder came here from Indiana last spring and has spent the
past season working on the farm. He is a brother of J. H. R.
Snyder and also of Will Snyder who has made this his home for a
number of years. -Peterson Patriot
