TWO OTHER FRANCHISES.
Mrs. Alexander Ketner, While Return
ing From Church Along Dark Road,
Run Down by a Young; Man Rid
ing Rapidly, Her Injuries Being
Fatal.
Special to The Observer.
Winston-Salem, Sept. 17. Return-
wg from church last night, in the
company of eeveral persons, Mrs. Al
exander Ketner, 40. years old, wife'
of a farmer residing near Crater's
Mill, seven miles west of this city,
was run down by a horse, receiving
injuries from which, she died early to-
dayf
The horse was ridden by Mr. An
derson Hege, a young man, who has
a farm near Harmony Grove church.
When services at the church were
over Mrs. Ketner, with several
friends, were walking home In the
roadway, when Mr, Hege came along.
He was riding- fast, it Is said, nd the
roadway was In shadow at the spot
where the fatality-occurred, so that
the young man did not eee the pe
destrians until he was almost upon
them. They irmde a scramble for
safety at the side of the road, but
Mrs. Ketner -was too late.
The horse'a hoofs struck her down
and she lay senseless In the road, with
wounds on the head. Horrified, those
of the party who had escaped, rushed
to her side and Mr. Hege, who had
succeeded in stopping the frightened
horse a short distance feway, came
to her assistance. He was grief-
stricken at the tragedy, which he said
he was not aJsle to prevent.
Mrs. Ketner was taken to her
home and a physician summoned, but
ehe expired in a few hours without
having regained complete! conscious
ness. The case is particularly sad,
on account of her five children, two
of them being twlna, just two years
old. - '
