A peculiar accident befell Jack Pierson, who hauls freight from White Earth to Charlson. The man fell from his load and his clothing caught on the side of the sled, allowing his body to drag under the sleigh. In this condition he was dragged for half a mile, and every stick of clothing {sp} he had on was torn off. He escaped with a few scratches and bruises. The man got together a part of his torn clothing as soon as he could extricate himself, and borrowed additional wearing apparel upon his arrival at Grinnell.
