1860 - A Noble Pair of Horses

Mr. Russell Wood, of Holyoke, Massachusetts, had a very narrow and miraculous escape from death last Tuesday. While coming down a mountain with a load of wood, he fell off, and was so paralyzed as to be unable to move, and was obliged to remain under the wagon wheels from three o'clock in the afternoon till 11 in the evening, when he was found and rescued by his alarmed and searching family. His horses had stood still for eight hours, although so impatient to be gone that they had pawed deep holes in the ground beneath them. Had they moved, Mr. Wood must have been killed.
