DIED FROM HER INJURIES. Mrs. John Alexander of Wallace, the Victim of a° Runaway Accident, Succumbs. Mre. Alexander, wife of Mr. John R. Alexander of the 2nd concession Wallace, who was terribly injured in a runaway accident about three weeks ago, died on Monday night. She just left home when the accident hap- pened. The horse which she was driv- ing becoming frightened from some unknown cause, ran away, upset- ting the two-wheeled vehicle into the ditch, Mr. Alexander being thrown out on her head, causing concussion of the brain; her right arm was also badly fractured. She never fully re- gained consciousness after the accident, bat continued to grow woree until death came to her release. The sym- pathy of the community has been by the sad accident and its fatal ending, which has deprived Mr. Alexander of a loving wife, and his four children of a tender mother. The deceased was-a daughter of Mr. of Trowbridge, Alexander 'Alex church event took dnesday afternoon in the U. A. Rid- dols of Drayton. The officiating oler- Re J. G. Comfort, pas- tor.
