Mrs. O. B. McIntire Killed.

Mrs. O. B Mclntire, widow of the late O. B. Mclntire formerly of Remington, was killed in a runaway at the home of her son, O. J. Conrad, in Indianapolis Tuesday evening. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Mclntire had been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Conrad. Tuesday evening the family went out for a drive. On returning Mr. Conrad dropped the lines to assist the occupants to alight. All had alighted but Mrs. Mclntire, who was holding the Conrad baby, when the horse started to run. In attempting to stop the frightened animal Mr. Conrad was knocked down. The horse ran about a half block when Mrs. Mclntire gathered the baby tightly in her arms and sprang from the carriage alighting on her head and shoulders. She was rendered unconscious, and died within a half hour. The child was uninjured.
