mounting it he circled to the left in
order to go towards South Main
street. Mr. W. M. Graham was in
his carriage on his way to the depot,
and had reached a point just oppo?
site the drug store, when Mr. Jen?
nings was endeavoring to turn in the
direction in which the vehicle was
going. Neither Mr. Jennings nor Mr.
Graham's driver, Brown, seemed to
see each other, and it unfortunately
happened that the tongue of the car?
riage struck Mr. Jennings a terrific
blow on the chin, which threw him
to the ground, and the ' horses and
carriage pas.-ed over him, badly frac?
turing his jaw and demolishing his
bicycle.

sisted by several of the by-standers,
who found him in an unconscious
condition. He was removed to the
