One Of the most wicked and picturcsqu,
! smashups we had seen in a long time occurred
ABOUT 10 O'Clock last Sunday morning in front o.
Dcgans meat market corner of La Sale and
Madison SITS A large sorrel horse, driven by two
young blades, had become unmanageable and
came plunging up Madison street at locomotive
speed In front of the meat market stood Sam
Degans horse hitched to sleigh The runa'
way horse bore down directly on it, and unable
TO pass around undertook to leap over it. The
result was that both Degan's and the runaway
sleigh were suddenly converted into kindling
wood. little beyond Degan's sleigh stood that
of Henry Betterman, Of Seneca, to which two
horses were hitched. Upon this the frantic
horse also leaped, converting it into q wreck.
Bettermans team hereupon took fright and ran
around the square, but was finally stopped,
when the discovery was made that in the melee
one OF the horses legs had been broken. The
horse that had caused all the mischief was
seized by Sam Degen, who insisted on retaining
the animal until he got paid for his cutter, but
finally gave it up on the assurance that the ow.
ner. whose name was not given, would make II
all right Betterman's horse was so badly in
jured as to be worthless, but VI. ID. Smith took
il and thinks he can restore the limb to sound.
