The Bloomfield Times of August 18th
saps: A peculiar acc ident happened 10
Henry Lenig's engine on Wednesday last,
which was being moved from Daniel Reap
somer's in Juniata twp, TO John TOOmey's.
When they started there was nearly forty
pounds OF steam in the boiler and the safe
ty valve was tied down to keep it in place.
While hauling it over, the strap, with which
it was tied down, caught on grape vine,
causing the valve to open and allowed the
steam TO escape with rush, soaring the
horses and causing them to run oil. The
engine was overturned, breaking it badly
and knocking down several pannels of fence.
The saddle horse fell and that enabled par
ties to catch the team before greater dam
age was done.
Last Friday, Christ Shelly, Of Delaware
township was quietly pulling manure from
the hind end of four horse wagon in one
of his fields. For horse reason a colt in the
team put foot across the spreader and
that excited the whole team OF four hor ses,
and before Shelly could get front to stop
them they were speeding across the field at
full run. When they came to the road
they leaped the post fence, taking the wa
gon with them, in a manner that would
have caused an old fox hunter, or circu
horse trainer to clap his hands with delight.
The run-aways then took the road for their
race course and continued TO run at full
speed till they reached the residence of
Abram Kurtz, there they stopped. The wa
gon boards were scattered along the rout
and that was all the damage done.
