         A Severe If Not Fatal Accident
         
         On Monday evening last, just at dusk, FRANK HENDERSHOT,
       a little lame boy of our village, some seven or eight
       years of age, was run over by a man by the name of THOMAS
       STEPHENSON, who in company with JOHN A. McCREA, both of
       Coldwater, were riding on horseback at an unsafe rate
       through the streets and around the corner of the Mansion
       House. The little fellow was upon the side-walk at the
       time, and tried to get out of the way, but owing to his
       lameness was unable to do so. His sound thigh bone was
       badly broken, and the hip-joint evidently shattered, so
       that the little invalid is laid again upon a bed of suf-
       fering, from which he had recently escaped. The men are
       both under arrest.
