  	The Accident Proved Fatal George F. Garnett succumbs as a result of injuries received Monday. Sank rapidly after being taken to Luther Hospital where death ensued. The injuries which George F. Garnett received on Monday morning as a result of endeavoring to stop a Standard Oil company team, which he was driving and which started to run away, proved fatal at 12 o'clock last night. Mr. Garnett passed away at the Luther hospital, where he was taken immediately following the accident. The accident happened almost in front of the Jeager grocery store in the upper part of the Ninth ward. Mr. Garnett had gone into the store to transact business and had left the team standing in front of the store. A street car came along and it is said that, being frightened by the car, they bolted. Mr. Garnett saw them start, however, and ran after them. He slipped as he was about to take hold of the bridle of one of the horses, falling in such a position as to allow the heavy wagon to pass over his body. The conveyance carries a heavy steel boiler, which was nearly filled with oil at the time. Mr. Garnett was unable to arise. Help soon came and upon picking him up and examining him at the hospital, it was found seven ribs, and his collar bone, were broken. He was also injured to some extent internally, the latter being thought to be the direct cause of his death. Mr. Garnett resided at 836 Broadway, and from which place the funeral will be held.
