Mr. De Carli was driving four horses attached to a gang plow to the field to plow. The two colts became frightened and caused the team to run away. De Carli was caught in the plow by the leg and dragged about two yards, his head being on the ground. When the team was stopped the unfortunate man was taken from his position unconscious and all but dead. Drs. Pitts and Diddle was summoned. It was found that he was literally scalped, the skull slightly fractured, one arm badly twisted and otherwise bruised and injured. The wounds were dressed and everything possible done for his comfort. Mr. De Carli revived some and was at times partially conscious, but his injuries were too severe and he passed away Monday. Deceased was 62 years of age and a man of sterling qualities. He came to California when in his teens and by industry and fair dealing accumulated a snug sum of money. He leaves a family. The remains were buried from the Catholic church here Tuesday forenoon, an immense number of friends and neighbors attending to pay their last tribute of respect to an honest man.
