BLOOMFIELD NEWS
A Mr. Bogel of Bloomfield, had a close shave for his life last Friday with his team which took fright at something and ran away.  It appears that he started out for a load of hay, sitting on the hind end of the reach which connects the running gear when the horses started, holding on to the team until they ran among some stumps which were in the road when the reach broke at the fore-end, and dropping down  stuck  in the ground, hoisting Bogel off his seat and into the air about 8 feet, when he came down on his head and shoulders breaking the left shoulder and laying the scalp bare in three places.  It was feared at first that he was injured internally and would not recover, but we learn from Dr. Eddy, the attending physician, that he is coming out alright.
