Mr. Thomas Montague and his wife were riding in a buggy, and when about one and a half miles above Saluda the horse took fright and ran away. Mrs. Montague jumped or was thrown out, breaking her arm and bruising her badly. She is still unconscious, and but little hope of her recovery. Mr. Montague held on for a few seconds when he was also thrown out and killed, dying in about two hours. He was buried yesterday at Gloucester Courthouse by the Masons, he being a member of that Order for many years. Mr. Montague lived near Urbana. He and his wife were driving gently along eating a lunch, when the horse took fright and started. Mr. Montague was about sixty years of age, and leaves three sons and one daughter besides a large number of friends to mourn his loss. Bob.
