DRAGGED BY HORSE, MAN DIES FROM HURTS
[Special to the Times-Dispatch] Fredericksburg, Va. Sept. 13
While en route from his home in Fairfax County to Manassas, a few monrings ago, the horse being driven by W. R. Staples became frightened at a dog and cow on the roadside. The animal bolted, throwing from the vehicle Mr. Staples and his wife, who was accompanying him. Mr. Staples became entangled in the lines and was dragged for one hundred yards over a rough stretch of road. When assistance reached him he was carried to the Speakes' home. Dr. W. F. Merchant treated the injured man. Mr. Staples died in a short time. Mrs. Staples was uninjured. Mr. Staples was 59 years old.
