Their Dreams Verified.

Charles Clark, who lives out eight miles toward Morrison on a ranch, started in to Denver with his wife in a light buggy to which was harnessed a newly broken colt which was making his trial trip in single harness. Near Valverde the colt took sudden fright at something and made two or three plunges, overturning the rig and precipitating Clark into a patch of cactus by the side of the road. He was thrown with such force that his leg was broken below the knee so that the large bone pierced through the skin. His face was terr.My lacerated by the cacti and some of it penetrated four thicknesses of clothing and lodged itself a h:w an inch into the flesh. His wife was carried some distance further, when she. too, was hurled into the cactus and sustained several severe bruises in the face and chest. Beyond a thorough shaking up she was not badly injured. In the evening Mr. Clark was called upon by a News reporter, who found him laughing and joeing over the mishap, although in inAise pain. “This accident is a result of predestination,” he said, “for several people say they have dreamed about this, and a for-tune-teller told my wife before we were married that she would marry a man who would be all battered up by a horse. Mrs. Ridgeway told me on the road that she had dreamed of this and she described the accident without having seen it. Then when Dr. Clark, who is my cousin, came in he said: ‘Charlie, I dreamed you broke your leg night before last,’ and then we told him about the other dreams.”— Denver News.
