THE SAD DEATH OF WALLER BYNUM.
On last Friday, about 4 o’clock,
near Pine Mountain, Waller By
num, aged 18 years, was killed
while being dragged nearly two
miles by a mule.
Young Bynum, divested of near
ly every piecec of his clothing by
the long distance ho was dragged
over rocks and the haid road,
was found hanging by his left foot,
to an iron stirrup, dead. The
young man was going to school to
Miss Thornton, who has charge of
the school at Mount, Pleasant,
bout two miles from the homo of
the Bynum family. On the morn
ing of the fatal aCcidont lie took
two mules from home for the pur.
pose of going to the Glado school
house where his sister, Miss Gene-
la, has been teaching. After school
he stared for his sister riding one
mule and leading the other and
when about a mile from the Mt.
Pleasant school in some way the
saddle became turned on one of the
mules—tin's is ( resumed from the
fact at this point the print of his
head was seen in the sand along
the road for 80 or 40 yards and
then for some little distance no
sign was seen. This shows that
he was making an effort to regain
his. position on the mule, but the
remaining distance showed that
his body was constantly on the
ground for nearly the distance of
,fwo Jmiles. From all signs
the mule was going with all the
speed that was in his power. Not
far from the place where ho had
had a scuffle with the mules his
hat was found and along the entire
distance blood and small pieces of
his clothing were found in the road
and the print of the body and
blood along presents a sad scene.
His collar bone was broKen und
the skin and flesh was torn from
the back of his head to the skull,
and otherwise bruised and flesh
torn.
The peculiar circumstance un
der which young Bynum lost his
life matte it a very sad one.
The interment took place at
iug Bottom cemetery at 4 o’clock
nturdaY, in the presence of a grief
stricken family apd a sorrowing
community.
The family have the sympathy of
^be entire eouptY.
