Yesterday a runaway accident occurred
on Mill creek, resulting in painful injuries
to one Of the parties. Mr.. and Mrs Cam
eron and lady were driving horse at
tached to buggy up Mill creek, when the
animal took fright near Mr.. I. Mesplie's
house, and turned and ran down the road at
a very rapid rate. The occupants remained
in the vehicle until near the Rogers place,
when it overturned, throwing them out, and,
Mrs. Cameron becoming entanglea in the
reins, was dragged considerable distance.
When she was released from her predica
ment, it was found that she suffered the
fracture of one rib and was otherwise
bruised. 1t is hoped that her injuries will
not be very serious, and that in few days
she will be able to be around. The others
escaped with slight abrasures, and this to
them wasa very fortunate ending of the ac-
cldent.
