SENATOR, THROWN ON MOWER.

Frightened Horses Are Stopped in Time to Save Life. Richmond, Ind., July 21.—Senator Walter Commons of Wayne and Fayette counties was painfully injured on his farm west of Richmond while driving a team hitched to a mower in a hay field. The team became frightened and Senator Commons was thrown on the mower, but fortunately the horses ran into a baycock and were stopped so that the senator had opportunity to free himself.
