in front of the city cemetery. He,
together with three other men,
were on a wagon, which had on it
five bales of cotton. Some dis
tance above the cemetery the
team seemed to want to trotioler-
ably lively, but were not runni g
away. The road being a little
rough, one of the bales on top fell
off and knocked Mr. Bass oil also,
throwing him on the double tree.
His body then went between the
double tree and the front axle and
was- dragging him along. The
front wheel of the wagon passed
over his left leg just above the
ankle and broke both bones. He
was dragged some distance betore
the driver succeeded in stopping
the team.
Drs. Caldwell and Stevens were
called m and the bones were
placed together. .He was then
taken home in a conveyance.

now anxious for some means ot
obtaining terms ot peace. This,
though, is apt to be disappointing
like most of our hopes in th
Spaniards.
