A runaway horse did cons iderable dam
age on Congress and Bryan streets
shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon, and one accident, as re-
suit Of the runaway, came near resulting
in the death of Mrs. Anna Cullen, a
woman of about rs years.
The horse, hitched to a buggy, came
down Congress street from East Broad at
breakneck speed, and turned around
Reynolds square instead of continuing to
Bull street. He attempted to make an
other turn at St. Julian, but just as he
did so, an electric car approached from
Bull street going east. This frightened
the animal, and he SHE'D, making
leap, and as he did so one of his front
hoofs struck Mrs. Cullen who was stand
ing on the sidewalk, just in front of Err
win, duBignon & Chisholm office, before
she could get out OF the way She was
struck on the face just below the left
temple, and hurled to the ground.
The horse continued his mad run, turn
ing at Bryan street and running into a
sulky standing there. which belonged to
Mr.. w. 7. Birch. The buggy struck the
sulkv, smashing off one of the front
wheels and frightening Mr.. Birch's horse

Mrs. Cullen was quite seriously injured
by the shock and was unconscious for
some time afterwards.

took care of the old lady until the ambu-

taken TO StJoseph's Infrmary, where she
was attended yesterday afternoon by Dr.
M. T. Davis. DIR. Davis says she was quite
seriously injured and it could not be told
last night whether she would live or not.
She was a woman of about IS or so years
of age, and besides the severe blow re-
ceived on her head, it is thought that she
was injured internally, all the indications
pointing to that fact when she was at

being taken away in the ambulance be-

since 1854, and for long time has resided
at No. 10 Bryan street, where she has
been taken care of and provided for by
several of Sayannah's charitable ladies'

the property of Mr.. J. F. McEachern, and

Mr. DAILY stopped to get the horse some
water at East Broad and Broughton
streets, and said while he went into a
house there he left the horse in charge of
a negro. a child came along the street
rolling tricycle., and when he reached
the point where the horse was standing
ran the tricycle. off the sidewalk and
down against the buggy. The unusual
noise frightened the animal and he started
away with a bound dragging the tricycle.,
which was caught in the buggy wheel,
for some distance.
The horse headed down Congress street
until he passed Reynolds square, where
he turned towards Bryan, with the re-
suits above stated. He broke loose from
the buggy, which was turned completely
over when it struck Mr.. Brch's sulky,
and was stopped finally at Bryan and
Drayton streets.

her home in some time and had just
started out to visit friend, when the
runaway came along and struck her be-
fore she had time to avoid it.
