THE OSCEOLA DEMOCRAT
Sunday at noon a team hitched to a wagon containing a scissor
grinders outfit, a sort of house on wheels used by Mr. Joe Adams
in traveling all over the country, started from the south side of the square
and running hard went east to the southeast corner where they turned north
so abruptly that one of the horses was thrown on its knees and received
a severe wound on each fore leg and finally with the assistance of some
men who happened on the scene the team came to a stop. Mr. Will Coon
was in the rig at the time but was not hurt. It was a lucky turn that
saved both wagon and driver from serious injury.
