The La Cygne Weekly Journal Linn County Saturday October 11, 1879 A sad accident occurred just south of Cadmus at about 11 o'clock Monday, John LEE, aged about 22 or 23 years, being the unfortunate victim. He was driving cattle, being on horseback, and chasing after some of the lot when he was thrown from his horse, the steed also going to the ground. It is not known whether the horse fell on Mr. Lee. The shock caused concussion of the brain. Some ladies saw part of the movement, and the young man was speedily attended to, being removed to the residence of his father, Daniel Lee, one mile west of Brooklin, this county. The injury was so great that the poor fellow was unconscious as late as Wednesday, and we regret to say his recovery, at this writing, seems doubtful.
