WM. H. BERRY RUNAWAY VICTIM

Horses Became Frightened and Ran After Victim Had Been Thrown From Plow. William H. Berry, who lives near Pleasant Ridge, had his right knee dislocated and had a lucky escape from being injured worse when his team ran away Tuesday while he was plowing. Mr. Berry was on a riding plow when it struck a rock and he was thrown from his seat and under the polw. The horses then became frightened and ran, dragging Mr. Berry for some distance. A man who works for him was nearby and saw the runaway and went to his assistance. Dr. Gwin was called and the leg was set before he was taken to his home about a quarter of a mile away. The dislocation was as bad or worse than a break and Mr. Berry will be laid up for some time. However, he is getting along quite well at present and will suffer no permanent ill effects, it is thought.
