Thrown From a Buggy and Killed

Last Saturday afternoon Mr. Joab Willis was thrown from his buggy near Butler 
in Taylor County and killed.  He had been to Butler and was going to his home 
in the Panhandle district, when his mule became frightened at some little 
Negroes dragging straw across the road, shied to one side and ran the buggy on 
a bank, turning it over and throwing Mr. Willis out.  He received internal 
injuries from which he died the same afternoon.  He was an old bachelor of 
about seventy and left no relatives.  It is said that he left his property to 
the schools and churches in Panhandle district.
