Thursday, 18 July 1878

         Last Monday AUSTIN BERGEN of Oceola was driving a
       single horse and wagon on the road past E. KELLOGG'S
       when something about the rigging became detached and
       the horses became frightened. Young BERGEN was thrown
       over the dash-board, and then under the wagon. It ap-
       pears that he had the reins tied about his body, and
       while he was drawn along under the wagon the reins
       remained about his person. In this condition the ve-
       hicle ran over him several times. His injuries were
       so great that he suffered greatly until yesterday
       forenoon, when he died. Dr. Wiley of Brighton attend-
       ed  him. The young man was a son of MICHAEL BERGEN
       and about sixteen years old. The accident was a very
       sad one.
