RUNAWAY.
Colonel sam. T. Curtis b Threwn
Heavily from His Baggy. Bas
Escapes Serious Injury.

As Colonel Sam. T. Curtis was on his
way to the mine this morning hs met
with quite q serious accident which
started in q runaway and resulted in his
being thrown heavily to the ground.
The accident occurred at the old
Crown Point office and by q Of the
moving Of the old Methodist church
into the street. As he wss driving
down the street the wind was blowing
hard in his face. and before he was
aware Of 1t he was upon the blocks and
chains and ropes used to move the
building. The horses at the same time
became frightened and sprang into q
run. As the left forward wheel went
over the chain q large hook caught the
wheel and broke one or two spokes. The
jerk given caused the whiflstree on the
left side to break. and as the horses
sprang forward the tongue dropped to
the ground. -.
Col. Curtis Just then found himself
in rather an UNPLEASANT predicamont.
He chung to tho rsins, however. and en-.
ginesred the team clear OF al breakers.
A little further on the tongue struck q
stone. snapped like . pipestem. and the
horses became more unmansgsable than
ever. He still kept the reins, however.
till the tramwsy Of the Rhode Island
mill was reached. where the wheel went
to pieces and tho Colonel was thrown
violently to the ground. The team con.
tinred on down the street, leaving q
badly. wrecked buggy behind. and when
last heard from were making for the
stable at the Justice mine.
Colonel Curtis was at ono picked up.
assisted to the house Of ]. p. Flannery
and cared for. He vas pretty badly
stunned by his fall. and carried over bis
left eye q huge confusion. Otherwise
he was not seriously injured. Drs. An
derson aud Msgee were at work over
him at IL o'clock. when the reporter
left. He was then wholly conscious
and seemed jolly and happy a. ever. and
gave q clear and minute statement oil the
manner in which the accident occurred.
He said that, with the exception OF the
hurt over the eye and Q slight bruise on
one hand. he was all right. Probably
by tomorrow. however. he will fnd q
place or two where comfort does mol
permanently reside.
