                          Thrown From Wagon,Killed
               Warren County Farmer Meets Death While Hauling Grain

   William Henry Cool ,51 years old of Roxburg,on the Phillipsburg-Belvidere 
highway,a native and lifelong resident of Harmony township,was fatally injured 
at about 8:30 this morning,when he was thrown from a wagon,loaded with wheat 
sheavers.He landed on his head an suffered a fractured skull which resulted in 
his death about 20 minutes later.
   Mr,Cool was engaged in hauling wheat from a big stack in one of his fields 
to his barn to be threshed.He was being sided by Ben Easterday.After the wagon 
had been loaded for the first time,Mr. Cool climbed to the top of the load and 
drove the team of horses.They came out of the field without trouble but just 
after they reached the cement highway,they ran away and Mr.Cool was thrown off.
Whether the horses started to run away before Mr. Cool fell off or if he fell on 
the horses and caused them to run away can not be detrtmined.
   In the opinion of County Physician, Dr. G.W. Cummins, of Belvidere,the sheaves 
of wheat started to slide after the wagon reached the road., Mr. Cool slid down 
with the wheat onto the backs of the horses, frightened them and caused them to 
run away,.tossing him against the bank on the north side of the road where his 
head struck a rock.
   The horses continued running away and apparently tried to make the right turn 
into the entrance to the barn several hundred yards from the scene of the 
accident, but they were going so rapidly they could not make the turn and crushed 
into a wire fence,one of the horses falling and becoming entangled with the wire 
where it remained until men of the neghborhood helped extricate it.
    Mr.Cool in the meantime had been picked up and was taken to the office of Dr.
H.B.?,but the physician was not at home and Dr.Cummins was summined.By the time 
he arrived ,Mr.Cool had passed away.
   Mr.Cool is survived by his wife; a son Paul, of Roxburg; two daughters, Mrs.
Eugene Laughin of Phillipsburg, and Mrs. Samuel Willever at home; a brother, 
Clark Cool, of Stewartsville,and two sisters, Mrs. Elston Stopp, of Belvidere, 
and Mrs.George Snover,of Belvidere.
