The semi-weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1890-1891, 1890-04-16
Yesterday afternoon Charles McGeadx

Yesterday afternoon Charles McGeady
was driving in a buggyaccross the wagon
bridge when about half way across M
of the horses became restless. Mr..
McGeady made a strong effort to control
him and hurt his hands severely in doing
so. In a few moments both horses be-
came unmanageable and broke away
from the buggy which fell to pieces
throwing out Mr.. McGeady and Mrs.
Tillie Sheridan. People came promptly
to their assistance and found that Mr..
McGeady had received severe injuries on
the head. Mrs. Sheridan's arm was
broken below the elbow. DIR. Newman
rendered surgical aid to both and they
are making fair progress. The horses
kept running as far as Black Eagle falls
where they were stopped. There wa a
wagon on the west side of the bridge at
the time Of the accident, but the horses
kept clear Of it in their wild canter. 1t
Is supposed that the strlnger IN the
bridge startled the first horse that be-
came unruly, but there is no reason why
it did not do so at the outset as well as
in the middle of the bridge. As in most
runaway accidents, the cause will al
ways be In doubt. The buggy and team
were from the Eclipse stable.

c.. Mcnamara has on exhibition in
Crowley's stable, Lewistown, four of his
handsome Clydesdale colts, one five and
three four year-olds. Though taken right
of from the range the colts are in fine
condition. They all have fine DISPOSE
lions, being gentle and kind as household
pets. One four-year-old is a perfect
beauty that would be hard to beat in any
country. They are specimens of what
Montana can produce In the way of
horses.--ARGUs.
