Article from newspaper: name and date not in document

Alex Smith living near the county line between Warren and Coffee counties
in the Viola country, met with a fatal accident last Friday night, which
culminated in his death, the following Saturday night. He was visiting
a neighbor and started to his home late at night, and on the way his
horse became unruly and rearing back and fell over, catching Mr. Smith
under him and so crushing him that he died from the effects of the hurt.
He lay where his horse fell till about seven o'clock Saturday morning, when
he crawled about one fourth of a mile to the nearest house, from whence he
was taken hom in a wagon, where he died.
