    One of the most shocking and sad casualties it has ever fallen to the lot of the Courier to chronicle occurred about five miles south of this city on last Thursday afternoon. While Mr. Henry Rohlfing and his son Charles were at work with their team, the horses took fright and ran away. The young man, it appears, was on the wagon and was thrown under the wheels, and either from contact with the horses’ heels or the wagon and a telephone pole, against which it was lodged, was badly mangled and instantly killed. His father, it is supposed, attemped to stop the team and was run down and received injuries from which he died in a few hours. The other members of the family were not at home. Mr. Rohlfing was able to attract the attention of a passer by who summoned the assistance of neighbors, and the unforunate victims received all the care and assistance that could be rendered.-Kenosha Courier.
