Mr. Louellen Slade Thrown From Horse and Died of Injuries.

One of the saddest accidents happened last Tuesday when Louellen Slade who works for Herman Rowedder was thrown on his head by a bucking horse and after twelve hours of unconsciousness died. It seems that the deceased had started to town Saturday on the same horse which is considered an "outlaw" and was thrown. He walked the rest of the way and then took the train for Carroll where his wife is confined at the hospital, having given birth to a baby several days previous. Arriving home Monday the horse was found without a saddle and Mr. Slade thought he could ride him home. Near the creamery the horse gave a wild lunge and threw the rider on his head. Kind hands at once carried the unconscious man to Dr. Carlile's office where he and Dr. Williams worked over him to get him back to consciousness. At times he appeared to rally slightly but never was able to recognize anything about. Up to two o'clock in the morning he appeared to be holding his own, and the doctors thought if he did not get better soon he would be taken on the early train to the hospital. But a short time before he died he sank rapidly and apparently passed peacefully away. On account of his wife's delicate condition the news was gently broken to her. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Veach, of Miles, Iowa, was notified and came at once. Also an uncle, R.J. Crawford, of Miles, Iowa, arrived Tuesday evening and at once began making arrangements to have the body shipped home for burial. In talking with Mr. Crawford we were able to learn that the boy's father was dead and that the deceased was raised by him. He was given a good education and had a natural disposition to break unruly horses, having been brought up by a man who always handled many horses. The deceased was a man about 26 years of age and well liked by all who met him. He and his wife were planning to go to housekeeping soon. He leaves a brother, John Sheldon Slade, a teacher, and a sister, Mrs. Herman Hass, of Miles, Iowa, to mourn his untimely death. Also a wife and mother. The sympathy of all goes out to the sorrowing relatives.
