SEVERELY INJURED WHEN A MULE BOLTS
Miss Dove Meredith is Hurt in Accident While Visiting in Mountains in Alabama
IS CAUGHT UNDER A BUGGY
Miss Dove Meredith of this city, who has been visiting her brother-in-law, Orville Herkless at Bridgeport, Alabama, suffered painful injuries in an accident last week, according to word which has just been received here by relatives.
Miss Meredith and Mrs. Miles Standish, who has been hostess to the Rushville party for several days at her home on a mountain in the Tennessee river, were on their way to the ferry in a buggy drawn by a white mule, when the animal suddenly bolted, ran up the side of a cliff and upset the buggy. Miss Meredith and Mrs. Standish were caught under the vehicle and Miss Meredith's shoulder was very severely hurt. The occupants of the buggy would have been seriously, if not fatally injured if the mule had not lain quietly until help arrived. A man who was riding ahead of them lifted the buggy off the two women.
Miss Meredith's sister, Miss Laura Meredith, and neice, Miss Margaret Herkless, are with her, and they are expected home the latter part of this week or the first of next week.
