Sinuous ACCIDENT.— While Louie Frain was about to unhitch his team from the reaper in the barn yard, last Friday afternoon, the horses took fright at something and ran away. The proprietor jumped but was caught by the divider and dragged about 20 rods down the lane. Here the mach- ine -swung into a wire fence and the horses swerved and striking a fence poet broke the tongue of the reaper. This let the frightened home away and probably saved Mr. Frain's life. Mrs. Frain was away from home that afternoon so the badly wounded man made his way toiJno. Lake's, 80 rods away, where he was cared for and medical attendance secured.
