Joseph Lewis Seriously Hurt

At the corner of Raymond avenue and Union street yesterday afternoon the cart 
in which Joseph Lewis was riding was overturned. Mr. Lewis was caught by the 
foot and dragged about a hundred yards before the horse was stopped in the rear 
of the Baptist Church.  When assistance reached him he was unconscious.  He was 
removed to his home on Cypress avenue and Dr. McAllister was summoned.  The 
doctor found that one of Mrs. Lewis’s ears had been torn off and he had 
received a bad scalp wound upon the back of his head.  As far as could be 
ascertained there was no fracture, yet at a late hour last evening 
consciousness had not returned to him.  The cart was completely wrecked.
