A milk team belonging to Milkman Rice, of Pine street, came tearing down the street for a distance of several blocks, the horse having taken fright at something up the road.

Fortunately the boy was not hurt. The horse was caught near the Quinni piac bridge and was also found to be uninjured. The cans were empty, as the boy was just driving after a load of milk when the horse ran.
