Dragged To Death


Mrs. Louis De Noya, wife of Louis De Noya, one of the wealthiest cattle men in the Osage country, was killed in a runaway at Remington.
Mr. And Mrs. De Noya had been to Pawhuska and were in about a mile of home, where they had to pass through a gate. Mr. De Noya was shutting the gate when the team became frightened and ran toward the house. On the way they crossed a ditch and Mrs. De Noya was thrown out over the dash board. Her foor caught in the circle of the buggy tongue and she was dragged about half a mile over the frozen ground. She was horribly mangled and her clothes were literally torn from her body. Mr. De Noya hurried to her release. She recognized him, but was unable to speak, only to say, “Oh! Pappa,” and died in a few minutes. The funeral was preached and interment was made at Pawhuska.
Mr. and Mrs. De Noya have a host of friends in this country. There home is at Remington and it is one of the finest in Oklahoma.-Kaw City Star.
