Chenoa, Ill., July 14-- A terrible accident occurred near Gridley, Ill., about 5 p. m. A daughter of Rudolph Witzig, a farmer, was driving a hay-rake when the horses became frightened and ran. Her father called to her to hold them and she did, and was dragged along a barbed-wire fence, which caught under her chin and tore off her entire face, leaving eyes and ears only. The jaws and face were left hanging to the fence. She retains unconsciousness and can see out of one eye, and makes her wants known by writing, but as she can not partake of food she can survive but a short time. She is about 20 years of age.
