[3, 5] - Horrible Accident
Tarboro, N.C., April 13th. – Glennie Hedges, son of John R. Hedges, of the firm of Day and Hedges, of this place, was killed by runaway horse this afternoon. The young man was assisting in the loading of baggage and standing on the singletree of the wagon, when the horses became frightened and dash off, throwing young Hedges between them, dragging him fully two hundred yards and kicking him to death. It is a peculiarly sad accident and the town is in gloom.
