ANOTHER FATAL RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
	Only a few weeks ago the community was shocked to hear of the 
accidental death of ex-sheriff Pat Bray, and we little thought that we
would be called upon to record another occurrence of the kind so soon, 
but such is our solemn duty this week.  John Donlon, a highly respectable 
farmer of Washington Lake township, is the victim.  Sunday evening he 
was endeavoring to “break in” a broncho pony and had the same hitched
to a sulky.  It proceeded to run away and in trying to save himself the 
unfortunate man was thrown on his shoulder, sustaining injuries in the 
back from which he died Tuesday morning.  Deceased was about 40 years 
of age and unmarried.  He was formerly a partner of John McGrann in 
Green Isle and is highly spoken of by all who knew him.  The funeral 
was held Tuesday from St. Brendan’s Catholic church, Green Isle.
