IKE PARCELS INJURED WHEN MULES RAN AWAY.

Loading Furniture in Car When Team Took Fright—lnjuries are Serious Enough to Lay Him Up. Isaac Parcelß was quite seriously injured when his mule team ran away this Tuesday afternoon. He was helping a neighbor load his-furniture in a car at the Monon tracks, when a table that was in the front part of the wagon tipped forward and struck the mules. They started to run and Ike, who was in the wagon, was thrown out and one of the wheels ran over his right leg and dragged him a short distance. His left elbow was jammed into the ground and severely cut, the muscles beillg torn almost to the bone. His right kneewAs similarly injured. Dr. Hemphill was called and dressed his injuries. Ike will be laid up for some time. The wagon was demolished. The mules were stopped at the Donnelly lumber yard.”
