Mr.. Peter Rice, employed by Mr.. w. M
Thayer of the Mansion House, as a hostler,
was driving up Water street Saturday after
noon about half past five o'clock, with single
team, having in the wagon, and resting over
the seat, pole designed for use in q carriage
with two horses. Just as he had crossed the
railroad track at the foot of Crimes Hill, the
pole canted and caught between the spokes OF
one of the rear wheels, breaking several
spokes, throwing Rice from his seat to the
ground, and striking the horse. Rice struck
upon his shoulder, breaking his shoulder
blade and otherwise bruising him. The horse
dashed up street without driver. He
cleared himself from the back part Of the
wagon when opposite Flagg & Miller's, and
farther on, when near the post Office, ran
against another team, damaging it slightly,
and disconnectng himself entirely from
everything but a portion of his harness.
After running a short distance further he
was captured, but was not injured in the least.
