Wheels Pass Over Leo BURNETT at Mount Pleasant
MOUNT PLEASANT, May 25. - As a result of a runaway late last evening, Mrs. Ann POWELL and her son, Leo BURNETT, are lying seriously injured at their home in this city. They had driven to their farm below town and were returning towards home, Mr. BURNETT was riding on a horse, his mother being left to drive the team. Mr. BURNETT observer that the team his mother was driving was starting to run and he rode up and caught the animal on that side by the bit and attempted to check the team. As he was riding without a saddle, his efforts were unavailing and he was pulled from the back of the animal he was riding. Having a grasp on the animal's bridle only with his left hand, he was unable to regain an upright position or to check the speed of the team at all. After being dragged about twenty yards, with the horse kicking and trampling upon him, he was forced to let go his hold. He fell to the ground and the wagon passed directly over him, the front wheel going over his chest and the rear one over his stomach.
The team continued to run, and the spring seat in which Mrs. POWELL was riding was thrown into the wagon, forcing her into the bottom. She still retained her grasp of the lines and struggled into an upright position, with her feet against the front. She had presence of mind enough to know that her only hope was in guiding the team along the street and let them run. This she did, and they ran over the roughest kind of a road for four blocks, when she succeeded in stopping them. She is an old lady of about 65 years and the severe jolting left her in a very bad condition. She suffered greatly all night, but is resting today.
Mr. BURNETT was kept under the influence of morphine all night, to alleviate the great pain in his bowels, where it was feared he was injured. Physicians have been unable as yet to ascertain the extent of his injuries inwardly, but as he is in less pain today, they have hopes that his injuries will not prove as serious as at first feared.

MOUNT PLEASANT, May 31. -- The injuries received by Leo BURNETT in the runaway last week have proven fatal. After a week of almost constant suffering, death claimed its victim at 7 o'clock last evening. Internal injuries, developing into general peritonitis, caused the young man's death.
Leo BURNETT was born in Lehi, Utah, June 12, 1874. His parents removed to Cottonwood, Salt Lake county. Shortly after his birth, remaining there until eleven years ago, when he and his widowed mother came to this city, where they have since resided. He was a modest, unassuming young man, of strictest integrity, and with a standing in the community which was above reproach.
He leaves to mourn his untimely demise a young wife, a two-year-old daughter and his mother, Mrs. Ann POWELL. The mother and wife are heartbroken over their affliction as they feel it very keenly.
Mr. Burnett was a member of Mount Pleasant lodge No. 22, A.O.U.W.
The Funeral will be held tomorrow at 2 o'clock, and will be conducted by the lodge.
