A General Wrecking Business Among the
Horses Yesterday.
Yesterday was large day for runaways. The
palm was contested for by
three festive equines, and while
while their performances varied as to frequen-
cy and scope, it is difficult to say which one
of the animals is entitled to take the oats.
However, it was day when the spirited nags
were on deck and their influence in whooping
up first class runaways was very sensibly
felt.
The first episode occurred about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, and it is only by the
prompt iaterposition of some divinity that
several of the eye witnesses survive to tell the
tale About the time named team attached
to wood wagon, and owned by man named
Hill, took fright at passing train on the
levee at the foot of jackson street.
Their heels went up, and with a snort that
meant anywhere in the world but that par
tcular locality, they started on bee line up
Jackson street. In passing The depot, the
fiery. untamed steeds ran into a lamp post,
which they wrestled with for moment, and
then dropped, at the same time leaving the
wagon. Up the grade they bounded, like the
fairy nymph in the White Fawn, making
direct cut for the entrance to the Merchants
Standing on the corner in front of that tavern,
wrapped in admiration at the beauty of the
perfect May morning, were Messrs. Vim.
Shelly, Dave Burke, and one or two other
well known politicians. 1t is not known
whether the team was tl-Rice, and had got
ten pointer to bust the combination, but
before the worthless could realize it, the ami
mails were hard on them. Somebody yelled
"look out" and there was a scramble for the
entrance. Mr.. Shelly, who is diplomat,
with an expose of shirt front any man might
feel proud of, had barely time to say good
morning, and twirl around the corner.
Just as he did SO, one of the horses gave his
stomach cordial nudge. Mr.. Shelly has
since said that it was unkind of the brute and
that he is no friend of his for cent. His es-
cape from serious injury was almost miracu-
lous. The animals ran up Jackson street, tax
ing the sidewalk, and strange to say, every
body evinced sudden desire to walk on the
wholesome side of the street. They were
stopped at Sixth street and one of the animals
was hurt about the hind legs. The wagon
was badly damaged.
An equally exciting and more serious run
away accident occurred about II o'clock on
Goodrich avenue, near Green street. About
the hour named peddler named Henry Daily,
who is crippled, was driving on Green street,
when his horse became frightened and run
away. In turning the corner OF Goodrich
avenue the wagon upset, throwing Mr.. DAILY
violently to the ground and empty
ing load of truck on his person.
Several gentlemen went to his assistance and
he was carried to an adjoining house, where
DR.. Stamm was summoned and applied the
proper restoratives. He was severely cut in
the head and injured about the shoulders.
There was no material damage done to speak
of. Mr.. Daily was conveyed to his residence
and was doing well last night.
The third accident was very distressing in
its nature and involveda heavy material loss,
resulting as it did in the death of valuable
and promising young horse: About 1890
o'clock yesterday afternoon young man
named Charles Schwartz, employed at Judd's
livery, left the barn on Fourth street in chorge
of horse and buggy owned by Mr.. w. j.
Dyer, of Dyer & Howard on Third street.
The rig was to be left at the store of the
firm, to convey Mr.. Dyer to dinner, and the
unfortunate accident occurred about block
from the store. On nearing Minnesota street
on Third, the animal SHE'D at hack, and in so
doing collided with another wagon. Being
spirited horse, he plunged forward and ran out
Minnesota street to Fourth street. In at
tempting to turn the corner the buggy upset,
throwing Schwartz out, and iuflicting pain
full but not serious cut in the head. The horse
ran up Fourth street, and when in the center
of the block be turned into an alley, where he
was brought to a standstill.
An examination showed that the animal had
sustained serious cuts on both the fore and
hind legs which were fearfully mangled,
caused by coming in contact with the sharp
edge of the trei Of the buggy.
The horse was taken to the barn OF DR..
Berkman, Sixth and Cedar streets, where it was
found that the leading tendons and muscles
of the legs had been severed, destroying his
usefulness for life. The case being hopeless
the suffering animal was put ont of the way
The accident is considered most singular and
one of the forelegs are on exhibition at Dr.
Berkman's. The buggy was damaged and the
horse alone wss valued at $3.50.
