The horses were a spirited team and had before run away. Reaching the brow of a hill, before making the descent Mr. McQuillan requested his wife to alight and walk down, while he drove the horses. Scarcely had this change been affected, when the horses started down the hill at a rapid pace. Mr. McQuillan was thrown from the wagon, striking his head on a stake, fracturing the skull, and causing his instant death."
