A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Mrs. W. C. Daly, of Lake Creek, met with a serious accident on Tuesday,
while riding towards Brownsboro, on the road along the old Henry Brown
ranch. Her horse stumbled and fell, and Mrs. Daly, who had slipped off, but
did not manage to disengage her foot from the stirrup, was dragged for a
distance and left unconscious in a pool of ice cold water. It was probably
an hour or more after the accident before she was found. Dr. Officer, of
Eagle Point, found two ribs broken, and as the patient is very weak and low
from the effects of the shock and subsequent exposure, grave fears are
entertained for her recovery. Much sympathy is expressed for the family,
who are among the oldest residents of Little Butte--much respected and very
popular. Mrs. Daly is nursed by two daughters-in-law, who live in Eagle
Point, and her youngest daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Von der Hellen, is also at
her mother's bedside.
