Miss Bennett jumped out on one side and caught hold of a horse and Oscar Graeff a boy 10 years old jumped out on the other side expecting to snap the inside checks when the horses became frightened and ran away with Gussie aged 8 years and Luella six years of age. Miss Bennett was thrown to the ground and the horse stepped on her ankle as they broke away from her. Gussie was soon thrown from the wagon and but slightly hurt. Luella tipped backward with the seat and fell on her back in the spring wagon box , and in this position was jolted upon the edge of the box with her head hanging over , and crushed her skull as the horses ran and was finally thrown out near an old road where she 'was found dead , her head crushed and bloody.
