ing Time.
A serious runaway occurred on State
street, near Elm, yesterday forenoon be-
tween II and 10 O'Clock. As Mr.. Herbert
e. Gamsby of Gamsby & Dean, the car
penter builders at No. 1853 Orange street,
was driving in his business wagon his
horse became frightened by the oars as he
was passing over the Grand avenue bridge.
The frightened animal ran at terrific rate
down the short but steep incline and when
he attempted to round into State street the
wheels of the wagon struck the horse car
track. Mr.. Gamsby was pitched headlong
to the street pavement just at the foot OF
Elm street, striking upon his head.
At almost the same instant the wagon
collided with one being driven by 8. La
vine, collector for A. Blskeslee, the In
stallment agent on State street, near Todd'a
block. The agents wagon WAS damaged.
Mr.. Gamsby's horse kept on running at
the same mad gait for about 200 feet more,
when he coIlided with one of J. G. 500
Wills bottling wagons, and the bottles flew
all over the street in the conclusion. The
runaway horse was thrown and about q
dozen people sprapg from the sidewalk
and kept the animal down. In the mean
time, Mr.. Gamsby, who had been made
unconscious by his fall, had been picked
up and carried into Professors Bolze's mu.
sic store, next to Bradley's bakery, on State
street. Mr.. Gamsby's clothes were covered
with mud and he was bleeding from sever
- l. M Nf pav
som Hills store, next door, procured re-
storatives which helped to bring the
injured man to consciousness. A crowd
of fully 200 people crowded about the en-
trance to the store, but the doors wer.
locked and only few people were admit
ted.
Police Surgeon Park was sent for and h
soon dressed the injured mans wounds
1t was found that he mad cut on his fore
head and that his face was badly bruised
and scratched. His wrists and arms wer,
badly scratched and scraped. Dr.. Parl
said that Mr.. Gamsby should be removed
to his home right away and said that al
that was to be feared was congestion of tn
brain, which ia liable to set in. Mr.. Gamsb,
r-rained consciousness and was removed t.
his home In Westvilie.
Mr.. Gamsby's horse was not jured t.
aged considerably.
The shafts OF Mr. Lavine's wagon wer
broken and Mrs. Scovill's wagon WAS dis
abled IN such a way that another wago1
