His horses were not vory trustynnd frequently refused to pull. OnThursday afternoon he nnd his son William were cutting grass in tho field be-

low his house, nnd William wns on themachine driving when the re-

fused to pull and Mr. Windom took holdof it by tho bridle to lead it and aftergetting the horses started ho stepped totho right, out of tho way of the sickle, ashe thought, but the horses turned to theright suddenly, nnd before he could getout of tho way tho sickle ran into hislegs and cut him down. Ono leg wascut almost entirely off and the othermora than half off. He fell back overthe sickle and the machine was stopped.He told his son to unhitch the horses asho would need them no more. Menworking near by very soon came to hishelp nnd beforo long nearly the wholetown was on the sceno, ready to giveany needed assistance. He uttered nocry of pain, but seemed to have had animmediate premorition of death. Hewas carried to tho houso and DoctorsOhaney nnd Del lass, of Pricetown,wcrosummoned, but the distance being sogreat, he was very much weakened bytho loss of blood beforo their arrival,and they were unable to give any relief.He died about four o'clock the nextmorning.
