Another Wagon Accident
Clinton Perring the Victim
The old farm wagon has nearly as many death accidents to its credit as the automobile. No one is safe from death and in the prime of life we cannot tell what minute the life of this world will be snuffed out. Mr. Perring was building a new house of the John Stipp farm and went to the quarry Wednesday to haul a load of stone and was returning home and had reached the lower part of the Stipp farm, when it is supposed he had a stroke of apoplexy and fell off the wagon and the wheel run over him. He was taken to Stanley Mitchell's residence where he died at 10 o'clock. Mr. Perring is well known and was  a might nice man, he was married to Miss Sallie Adams a few years ago. The funeral was held this afternoon at Clear Creek.
