Shaw and family met with a serious mishap Sunday while on the way to the home of Arthur Jones, where they expected to take dinner. Mr. Shaw had hired a horse and buggy and with his wife and three children started for the Jones homestead. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw occupied the one seat in the buggy, while Gladys, nine years of age, sat on a box with her back to the dashboard holding the baby, 16 months old, and the third child, a boy six years old, was enjoying a ride in the rear of the seat. At least this was the arrangement at the time of the accident, which took place about three miles from town near Gordon's timber claim. Of a sudden, one side of the shaft became unloosed from the buggy and dropped own on the heels of the horse, when the animal began kicking and pitching in the most vicious manner, getting entirely beyond control. Seeing that Gladys and the baby would be kicked to death if allowed to remain in their perilous position the father made frantic effort to get them out, which he finally succeeded in doing, but not until the frightened animal had dragged the entire outfit 80 or 100 feet by the remaining shaft and overturned the buggy, when he became disengaged and went flying down the road with the shafts dangling at his heels and kicking at every jump. The little boy riding in the rear was toppled out without being hurt, but Gladys was badly injured in the shoulder and the baby had it's face cut and bruised, while Mrs. Shaw is bruised and sore all over. It was probably the liveliest shakeup for a few moments that a family ever got, and that it did not result in death or broken bones is something to be profoundly thankful for. The horse continued his mad course down the road for a mile, where he was captured. Mr. Jones, hearing of the accident, came with a team and carriage and took the injured people to his house, while Mr. Shaw retraced his steps to town. They are all getting along nicely, but feel sore more ways than one over the event. The Colfax Gazette., June 14, 1907
