FELL DOWN AN EMBANKMENT

BUGGY OVERTURNED ON A HILL NEAR DIXBORO

Mrs. Matteson Thrown on Her Head and Seriously Injured - Her Daughter Escaped Uninjured

Mrs. Epp Matteson, sr., and daughter met with quite a serious accident a few days ago while driving down the hills near Dixboro. The road at this point has been filled in so that there are deep ravines on each side of it.  Mrs. Matteson was driving along at a good pace when the horse slipped and turned the cariage over, throwing the occupants down the embankment. Mrs. Matteson struck on her head and one hand a sustained very painful injuries.  Her head was badly cut and bruised and one finger was broken and the muscles and tendons were torn loose in her hand.

She is just recovering from a long illness and it is feared that the shock she received may retard her recovery. Miss Matteson was only slightly injured.
