The young man, accompanied by his father and a Negro, were driving along the public road during the prevalence of a high wind when they observed a large pine tree in the set of falling. The Negro urged the team to increased speed and escaped. But the father and son jumped from the wagon and the latter was caught beneath and crushed by the ponderous weight of the trunk. The elder Gandy sustained slight injuries.
