Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 94, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 August 1899 — Injured in a Runaway. [ARTICLE]

Injured in a Runaway.

Bob Adams, well known here and a former resident, but now living in Monon met with quite a serious accident Thursday. In company with True Woodworth of this city, he was hauling sewer pipe, when the team became frightened and ran away. Both Woodworth and Adams were thrown violently to the ground, the former being considerably bruised, while Adams had his right leg broken in two places below the knee. His age makes the acoident a serious one for him and it will be some time before he will be able to be around.
