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.
