Tragic Runaway Kills Valuable Mare at Humbolt Farm
A gray mare worth 1500 pounds owned by Johnson Bros. on the Lewis Nelson farm near Humbolat died after a runaway threshing outfit accident at the Frank Kelly place. A steel stake pierced the mare, she collapsed, and a bystander ended her suffering with an ax. Witnesses call it a horrifying sight.
