Harrodsburg Herald June 25, 1920 Bad Runaway

Three Carr Children Injured Monday, One of Them Seriously   Three children of Mr. and Mrs. Cleo Carr, near town, were victims of a very serious runaway accident Monday. Walter aged 18, was driving a team of mules hauling a couple of barrels of water on the farm. His young sister, Hester, aged 15, and a little brother, Eugene, aged eight years, climbed up on the wagon for a ride. The team became frightened and started to run and the driver lost control of them. The little boy sitting beside him on the front seat of the wagon, was knocked off by one of the barrels, overturning, and fell under the feet of the animals, the wagon passing over his chest and arms. Walter was thrown off, but was caught by the foot and dragged some distance before the shoe was torn off and he was released. His foot and back are hurt, but not dangerously. The girl jumped clear of the wagon and escaped without injury other then a few bruises. The most seriously injured of the trio is the eight year old boy who in addition to his hurts, has been threatened with pneumonia from the shock and the water from the overturned barrel.
