An Electrician Hurt.PHOENIX (Ariz.,) July 20.--While the fire department was rushing to the fire last night, S. C. Wyncoop, electrician of the Gardiner Electric Works was run down by an unknown horse and badly hurt. His spine, it is feared, has been injured. He was taken to the Sisters' Hospital, where everything possible has been done for him.

"S. C. Wynkoop," mentioned above, is Schuyler Colfax Wynkoop, mentioned in a number of articles in the Los Angeles Times from this time period. Judging by the number of injuries he is reported to have suffered, Schuyler was a bit accident prone. Richard Wynkoop, in the 1904 edition of the Wynkoop Genealogy in the United States of America, has this to say about his family on pages 209-210:
APPENDIX. 209A branch of the family has been found, but its connection with the main body has not been discovered. It began with: 1759. John Wynkoop, whose wife was Anne McLure. There is obscurity as to their children. One correspondent, Schuyler Colfax Wynkoop, grandson through David, wrote of six sons and two or three daughters, named David, Matthew, William, Jacob, Isaac, Katharine, and Mary; but did not indicate David as eldest. He subsequently named them as David; William, m. Jane Armagust; Matthew, m. Mellinger Keady or Heady; Margaret, m. John Davis; Elizabeth, m.-----Owens; Martha, m. -----Smith; and Isaac. An other correspondent, Cora May Hagaman, niece to Schuyler, mentions Matthew, Helen, William, David, Isaac, Hettie Ann, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Martha Jane. David [1760] mentioned his father and mother, himself and brothers Matthew and William, and his uncle Isaac, and wrote that he had five sons and two daughters, living (March, 1891). John was a shoemaker, and lived near Boiling Springs, Pa., where he died in 1840, because of a fracture of his leg. Children of John and Anne Wynkoop: 1760. David, b. Apl. 1821, in Kingston, Cumberland Co., Penn.: m. Jan. 5, 1847, Sarah Anne Hoover, b. May 8, 1826. He removed, about 1850, to La Porte, Ind., where he was engaged in the brick business, and in planting. He removed to Brenner, Doniphan County, Kansas, about 1869, and continued as a planter, and now lives at Atchison. Children of David and Sarah A. Wynkoop: 1761. Mary Anna: b.
