The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday May 14, 1897 William BERRY was seriously injured Tuesday evening while helping move a traction engine. The engine belongint to the BEEBES had eight teams attached to it, one of which Mr. BERRY was driving; he had been on the engine managing the steering wheel and being relieved by Mr. BEEBE, he started to go to his team. The supposition is that the front wheel knocked him down and it, the hind wheel and the front wheel of the trail wagon passed over him before the teams could be stopped. Dr. TRIMBLE was called, and Dr. CALLENDER later, and they succeeded in giving the injured man temporary relief. It is a hard matter to tell how badly injured he is, but there is probably a fracture of the pubic bone and one or more verterbrae. The engine weighs abotu 12,000 pounds and the wonder is that he was not killed outright. He is getting along as well as could be expected and may recover, although the chances are against him. It is a distressing accident and the sympathy of the community is with t! he injured man and his family. Later--Mr. BERRY died at 2 o'clock this morning, peritonitis having set in yesterday. The deceased leaves a widow and three small children.
