There was an exciting runaway accident on
Water street yesterday. A horse attached to the
milk wagon of Capt. j. II. Bolton was frightened
near Market Square by o. locomotive, and ran
rapidly down toward the Journal Office. Probably

poor animal, and to make him dodge from one
side of the street to the other. Finally one man,
more successful than the rest, caused him to leap
upon some lumber opposite ID. T. Pixies building
near the railroad crossing. Here the horse
stumbled and fell, and horse, wagon and milk
cans rolled over in shapeless confusion down the
embsnkment eight or ten feet to the bottom of the
cellar. Several men were at work in the cellar at
the time ard narrowly escaped injury. The poor
horse lay upon its back pressed to the earth by
the broken wagon which lay piled upon him. The
debris was soon removed by the crowd which
quickly gathered and strange to say the horse
