[FIGURE] excitement to day Wilford took the Horses to carry sum
post & poles to my pasteure with the running gears while
coming home my new horse started suddenly into a run
Wilford could not hold them they run three blocks with
him & while turning the corner they turned the hind wheels
three times over with wilford siting upon the Exeltree the
Horses continued to run with the fore wheels untill they
run against the fence. Wilford was stunned & picked
up for dead but He soon came to & finally led one of the

hurt in one leg & badly jared in the head but He had
a comfortable nights rest I felt thankful that He was not killed
