Thrown From Horse Today and Killed.

J. Gartung Almost Instantly Killed When Frightened Horse Threw Him.
Skull Was Crushed By The Fall.

J. GARTUNG, who lived two miles north and five miles west of Liberal, was thrown
from a horse this morning and almost instantly killed. His skull was frightfully
crushed by the fall.

B.E. HARNESS, who lives in the same neighborhood, was driving near the Gartung
place with a load of grain and witnessed the accident.

He saw Mr. Gartung coming down the road on his horse, when the horse ran away,
apparently without reason, and resulted in throwing him. Mr. Harness immediately
went to the wounded man, and carried him to his home, which was nearby.

Dr. Huddleston was called at once but Mr. Gartung was dying and beyond medical
help. He never regained consciousness.

Mr. Gartung leaves a wife and two small children. H. Gartung of this city is a
brother.
