Mr. Woods with two neighbors was hauling wheat to Alva, and as they started down a hill, Mr. Woods, who was on the middle wagon, reached to put on the brake. As he did so the wheel went into a depression, throwing him off the wagon and he fell in such a position that the wheels ran over his head killing him instantly. Mrs. Woods and son, Forrest, and Mr. Homer L. Woods, a brother, accompanied the body here, arriving on No. 9 Wednesday morning.
