YOUTH DIES FROM INJURIES RECEIVED IN RUNAWAY
John Bischoff, fifteen years old, died at eleven o'clock last Friday morning from injuries received two hours earlier when the mules he was driving ran away on west Commercial Street, throwing him from the seat and crushing his body between the wagon and a telephone post.
Young Bischoff had brought a load of wheat to town and after selling it was returning when the mules became frightened near the canning factory and the youth was unable to control them. After crossing the railroad track, the team ran into a telephone post and the boy fell over the front end of the wagon and was crushed between the post and the wagon. All of the ribs on the left side were broken, several of which penetrated the lungs and internal hemorrhages were suffered. He was taken to the home of Elmer Cochran nearby and given medical attention, but death occurred without consciousness being regained.
Young Bischoff was a son of Peter Bischoff, living near Sarcoxie, but he had been living with a brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Charles O'Conner, four miles west of town, his mother having died shortly after his birth.
The funeral services were held at ten o'clock Sunday morning, conducted by Father Brady, and interment was made in the Catholic Cemetery.
