Lawrence Princ of the Phil Sheridan Farm Sustained Painful Injuries Today.
Clothes Caught In Shaft.
Horse Became Frightened and Driver of the Milk Wagon Was Thrown Under it.
    Lawrence Princ, who with his brother has been running the Phil Sheridan farm on Milwaukee road, west of Eighteenth street, North Chicago, but who has been moving to the Graham farm on the same road, was the victim of a serious accident this morning when the wheels of a wagon passed over his head, inflicting painful cuts and bruises and causing a possible fracture of the skull.
    Princ was hitching a horse to a milk wagon. The sleeve of his overcoat caught in the end of the shaft and before he could extract it the horse became frightened and started on a run. As he came to a fence the horse leaped a small gate, drawing the milk wagon over him.
    The cloth of Princ’s coat gave way and he dropped to the ground in the path of the milk wagon, the wheels of which passed over his head, inflicking a deep gash in his cheek and causing a score of other cuts and abrasions on his face and scalp.
    The horse continued to run away, hurdling two or three other fences until he finally ran into a wire fence where he received several cuts but which stopped him. Dr. Jolley of North Chicago was summoned to attend to the injured man. He said that although the victim is conscious and does not appear to have sustained a fractured skull it is possible to be positive as yet.
