“ The enclosed document. labeled “ Tell

Mrs. Cox was thrown about fifteen feet,
and landed in the middle of the street.
The carriage was overturned and the
horse kept on for about fifty rods when
he suddenly turned and came dashing
back at a furious rate.“ Mrs. Cox was
lying where she fell, being unable to get
up. but seeing the coming back
she knew she would be killed unless she
could get out of his way. and she mam

dashed her. The noi soon
