Mr,Cool was engaged in hauling wheat from a big stack in one of his fields to his barn to be threshed.He was being sided by Ben Easterday.After the wagon had been loaded for the first time,Mr. Cool climbed to the top of the load and drove the team of horses.They came out of the field without trouble but just after they reached the cement highway,they ran away and Mr.Cool was thrown off.Whether the horses started to run away before Mr.Cool fell off or if he fell on the horses and caused them to run away can not be determined. In the opinion of County Physician,Dr.G.W.Cummins,of Belvidere,the sheaves of wheat started to slide after the wagon reached the road.,Mr.Cool slid down with the wheat onto the backs of the horses,frightened them and caused them to run away,.tossing him against the bank on the north side of the road where his head struck a rock. The horses continued running away and apparently tried to make the right turn into the entrance to the barn several hundred yards from the scene of the accident,but they were going so rapidly they could not make the turn and crushed into a wire fence,one of the horses falling and becoming entangled with the wire where it remained until men of the neghborhood helped extricate it. Mr.Cool in the meantime had been picked up and was taken to the office of Dr.H.B.?,but the physician was not at home and Dr.Cummins was summined.By the time he arrived ,Mr.Cool had passed away.
