Day's Outing Ends In Death of Woman
Mrs. Herbert B. Harlow is Killed and Mrs. Fred J. Barn Injured

Horse Becomes Frightened and Runs, Dragging Carl A. 
Duton, the Driver.

           -----------------
Mrs. Herbert B. Harlow received injuries that caused her death
a short time later and Mrs. Fred J. Barn of Little Rock, Ark., 
was probably seriously injured about 10 o'clock last night
when they were thrown or jumped from a light spring wagon
in which they were returning from a day's outing at Mills
Crossing. Carl A. Dutton, who was driving, was slightly
injured by being dragged along the road after he had been thrown
from the seat. The horse became frightened when a buggy
passed and ran, Dutton being unable to hold him.
The back of Mrs. Harlow's skull was crushed and she 
suffered internal injuries. Responding to telephone information
of the accident the police patrol made a quick run to the place
where the women were thrown from the wagon, near the
cedar brakes, five miles out on the Mills Crossing road.
Mrs. Harlow was still alove when the ambulance reached
the home of her father, J. D. Harlow, 1905 Ethel street, 
where medical attention was given her. She died within a few
minutes, however.
Thought at first not to be seriously injured, Mrs. Barn's condition
last last night gave physicians much uneasiness. Internal injuries
are feared. Dutton suffered only slight scratches, caused by
being dragged along the ground when he still held to the reins
after falling from the seat soon after the horse started to run. 
Whether the two women left in the wagon attempted to jump
or were thrown bodily from the swiftly moving vehicle when
it struck a rough place in the road is not known.
Mrs. Harlow was Miss Edna Porter before her marriage. Her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Porter, live at 728 North Eleventh
street. Her husband Herbert B. Harlow and two small children
survive, in addition to several brothers and sisters. Mrs. Harlow
lived at Twenty-fourth and Bosque streets.
The horse reached the home of J. D. Harlow soon after the
accident with the wagon still in good shape. 
The funeral will be held from the J. D. Harlow residence,
1905 Ethel avenue, at 4 o'clock this afternoon,
with burial in Oakwood cemetery.
