The accident occurred on the bend of the road at Lew Hendee's place. Clifford Shanks of Hainesville was driving a tank wagon, to which four horses were hitched. Just ahead of him his father, E. F. Shanks, was driving a team of four- horses hitched to a hay rack wagon. Still further ahead was Lester Shanks, another son, who was riding one of a team of two mules and who was leading four horses. They were returning home from a grading job at Grayslake. A man driving a speed wagon for the Nelson Transfer company of Dixon, who had just been in Waukegan to deliver a load of furniture, came along. He drove around and cut in so dose his machine struck the rear end of the hay rack, which was tipped up, throwing the elder Shanks between 'his team, frightening them. The collision caused the reach of the wagon to . become broken and the horses galloped down the road, the front running gears Swaying behind them like a chariot. The father was pinned under the hay rr.ck, but was only badly bruised and cut. When Lester, who was leading the caravan, he leaped from his mount as coming he leaped from his mount as the horses he was leading became unmanageable. The two four-horse teams and the span of mules thundered down the road at break neck speed and automobilists and others in to to doctor up.
