Thrown From a Buggy and Killed
Last Saturday afternoon Mr. Joab Willis was thrown from his buggy near Butler in Taylor County and killed.  He had been to Butler and was going to his home in the Panhandle district, when his mule became frightened at some little
Negroes dragging straw across the road, shied to one side and ran the buggy on a bank, turning it over and throwing Mr. Willis out.  He received internal injuries from which he died the same afternoon.  He was an old bachelor of about seventy and left no relatives.  It is said that he left his property to the schools and churches in Panhandle district.  ***** Submitted by Carla Miles
