The Valley Falls New Era Jefferson County Thursday November 10, 1910 Run Over By a Mule. Alda McCLURE, the 12 year old daughter of Bert McCLURE, had a narrow escape from death Sunday afternoon when she was run over by a playful mule, one of the dray team. Bert, one arm in the sling with a car buncle, had, by the assistance of Alda at the gates, turned the mules and the cow into the lot, when Alda, getting in the way of the capering mule, it trampled her down and kicked at her in passing. It apparently aimed to strick her with its fore feet, a hoof going on either side, tearing her clothing and bruising her knee. Had the cruel hoofs not missed the body, serious, if not fatal, would have been the result. Her sister, May, ran out, picked up and carried Alda into the house, all fearing serious injury had been done. Bert hurried to the phone and was calling for a physician, when Alda recovering quickly from the shock, bravely exclaimed, "No, I'm not hurt, I don't want a doctor!" Bert says that his feelings were for a few moments, to shoot that mule then and there, but he had no gun.
