William J. Stinton, a farmer residing in Sioux township, was killed in a runaway accident on Tuesday night, while on his way home from Westfield to his farm six miles east of that place. The first intimation that anything was wrong was when Avery Small, employed at Stinton's as hired man, heard horses galloping in the yard about half past ten. He went out to Investigate and found the team that Stanton had driven to Westfield. They had got clear of the wagon. The neck-yoke held them together and a broken single tree dangled at their heels. The bridle on one of the horses was broken and of her parts of the harness torn. Small caught the horses and hitching up another horse started in company with Grace Stinton, the 18-year-old daughter of his employer, to make a search. At a point about two miles and a half from the house they found thebody of Mr.Stinton lying face downwards in the road. Stooping over the body they were shocked to find the man was dead. Small summoned assistance, and with the aid of a neighbor, H. H. Hompy, conveyed the body to the Stinton residence and broke the sad news to Mrs. Stinton and the children. A physician was summoned from Akron. He found that the unfortunate man had broken his neck , and his left leg and left arm were badly bruised and lacerated. In his opinion death was instantaneous. County Coroner Nic Willigen went out on Wednesday and held an inquest over there mains. H. B . Morehead , J. W. Faust and John Kanago were empanelled as a jury. Avery Small was the first witness and told of the horses coming home without their driver, and how he and Miss Grace Stinton went out to search for Mr. Stinton and found his body in the road. The evidence showed that Stinton stopped at the Ed. Pendleton house on his way home. Tom Reinhart, a farm hand employed by Pendleton, testified that he rode out from Westfield with Stinton. Stinton tied up his team at Pendleton's and stayed there some time. Miss Beaade Pendleton, aged is, said Mr. Stinton came in the house and he and her father were together in the dining room talking. She remained in the kitchen. She thought Mr. Stinton left about ten o'clock. Reinhart was asked if he had been in a saloon with Stinton and he said no, but that Stinton had a bottle along. A number of other witnesses told, of being called to the scene of the accident and of seeing the dead body, but their evidence was not material. The jury returned a verdict of acidental death, finding that the deceased had broken his neck when thrown from a wagon when his horses ran away. Mr. Stinton was about forty-eight, years of age, and leaves a widow and five children. Le Mars Semi-WeeklSentinel - January 29, 1915, Lemars, Iowa
