PROBABLY FATALLY HURT.
-----
Wm. Stephenson Falls Under Heavy
Wagon.
-----

       While Wm. Stephenson, the Waters-Pierce agent at Kosse, was enroute to Bremond with a tank of oil, he fell from the wagon which passed over him, crushing his thigh to a pulp.
       He was driving six mules to the wagon whose contents weighed 2400 pounds.  In some way, presumably when the wheel sank in a hole in the road, lost his balance and was precipitated to the ground.
       Dr. Blaylock, the physician who examined the wounded man gave out little hopes for his recovery.
