about a House, as ; they intended
to retire from the 'farm,
They left before dark, and after
turning to go home,. decided to
turn pack and have tea at the
home of Mr. Gray's.
It seems their horse took fright
two boys riding bicycles and jump-
ed into the ditch. Mr. Perdue was
hurled against a telephone pole
and had his head :crushed in. His
wife was found unconscious, and
remained so for some time.
The accident happened on the
Bayfield Road about four miles
to Select Candidate from Clint an. .
