No strength like a father's love

A most peculiar accident happened in Baggs Friday morning. While Al Warren was preparing to start to Rawlins, his little six-year-old boy climbed up on the wheel of the wagon, which was loaded with 3300 lbs of oats. The horses started, throwing the young fellow under the wheel. Mr. Warren caught the wheel and lifted in all of his power, which no doubt saved the little fellow's life as the wheel ran across him from above his hip to the knee of the opposite leg. Strange to say, he was not even bruised, while one would naturally suppose his body had been cut in two. -Routt County Courier, October 26, 1905
