RANCHER THROWN OFF BRONCHO[sic] INTO FENCE
Sturgis, S. D., June 24.---Andrew Hanson, a rancher, was severely injured by being thrown from an unmanageable broncho[sic]. The animal bolted and came in collision with a barb-wire fence, and Hanson was thrown against the wires. The muscles of both legs were cut and some of them entirely severed. The horse also became entangled, lacerating himself so terribly that he ran but a few hundred yards before he fell dead.
