DOUBLE FUNERAL HELD SUNDAY Victims of Saturday Run-a-way Buried in Brown County .Fox was killed by being kicked by the bronco while Mullis was fatally injured while attempting to leap to safety after his companion had been knocked backwards from the rig by the horse. The runaway started just a block above the place where the tragedy occurred. Just what frightened the bronco is not known, although two theories are advanced-one that it took fright from an automobile and another that it was frightened by a large, red delivery wagon belonging to the merchants' delivery system. Like all horses of his kind, the bronco bolted very swiftly and suddenly and started down the steep hill with Fox leaning over attempting to check its flight. Directly in front of the Bierly home the harness, which was very much patched up, broke causing the pony to kick. Fox, leaning forward, received the full force of the blow on one side of his face and forehead which knocked him backwards out of the rig into the street. He fell with his feet toward a pile of stone. Almost immediately, the older man jumped and turned completed over in the air, striking on his head in the gutter. Fox died inside of a few minutes while Mullis died in about an hours and thirty minutes. (Fox) lived only a few minutes, expiring immediately after Dr. Batman, who was the first physician to reach the scene, arrived. Mullis was carried to the porch of the Joseph Kirby house across the street and made as comfortable as possible. He was placed on a cot and examined by several physicians who hurried to the scene, but all announced that he was beyond medical or surgical aid. He convulsed his life away living up until about 4:30, and his wife and one son reached his side. He, however, did not recognize them, never regaining consciousness.

REPORTER VISITS MULLIS HOME Find Bereaved Families Stricken with Grief and Poverty Sunday afternoon a Telephone reporter visited the homes of the two men who were killed in the runaway Saturday and talked to the bereaved families. The Mullis home is a log cabin about four miles east of town, while Fox resided in a little houses down in the valley, off the pike, a mile farther out. Here he had purchased 40 acres of land in which he has planted a few potatoes. On the land he has so far paid $65 and has a bond for a deed for it. The families of the two men had just returned from the sad funeral at Schooner, Brown County-a long, hot, dusty journey of 15miles. Mrs. Fox and her 4-month-old baby were at the Mullis home, and it is her intention to live there for the present, as she is in very poor health, and it is feared she has consumption. The Mullis home is an old log cabin that belongs on the Harvey Smith place and which the Mullis having been paying $2 a month for. They have no garden attached, as is generally the case with any place no matter how small in the country, and Mullis simply made enough money to exist on by working out for the neighbors. The oldest son, Frank, is also old enough to work out. Sitting in the door of the cabin, Mrs. Mullis told the family history. "Before coming here, we lived 25 years on Weed Patch Hill," she said. The families just moved to Monroe County about three years ago, before that time over in Brown County Mullis farmed in a small way on a patch of land nearly worthless on Weed Patch Hill while Fox split ties for a living. To Monroe county they came to better their condition, and Fox was making a hard fight to buy him a place of his own when the tragedy occurred that ended his life. The bronco that ran away and caused the two deaths is the only animal the two families own. It was purchased from a brother-in-law, George Bohall, and was always supposed to be gentle, having been worked continuously for five years. Mrs. Mullis said that she herself had driven the pony and that she had never known of it to scare before. In the Mullis family there are three married daughters and three younger boys at home. They are Tom, Lewis, Frank, Mrs. Maggie Bohall, Mrs. Della Bohall and Mrs. Emma Fox. The two Mrs. Bohalls live in Brown County. Mrs. Fox has a young baby besides which there is a daughter by a former marriage of Fox's, Edith by name. In the little old cabin there were scarcely any provisions-possibly sufficient to last the two families about three days, if that long. When the funeral party returned from its long trip, kind neighbor ladies had supper fixed for them. The neighbors are very sorry for them and are doing what they can, "But I just can't see how they are going to get along," said one kind-faced, elderly lady who had just given them some provisions. Mrs. Mullis telling her story remarked about the same thing. Hardly yet able to realize her great grief, she dumbly suffers" "With Ike and John dead, I don't know what we are going to do. Emma is sickly, and Frank is the only boy old enough to work, and I can't do much," she said.
