hear all the conversation i'm any Of the
rooms next door IN which there Is rum

Runaway Horse Killed.

The horse owned by Frank Knowltor
and driven, yesterday morning, by John
Murphy, was killed from the effects of ar
injury received in runaway accident.
Mr.. Knowlton lives on the Belfast road
and every morning drives to his work in
the Maine Democrat Office Yesterday
morning, he did so as usual and turned
the team over to John Murphy to take it
over to the Robinson livery stable on the
East side.
When Mr.. Murphy was in front of the
Cony house his team collided with the Au-
gusta Beef Co. S team and became fright
ened. The horse ran down Water street at
terrible gait and when in front of the
Mason clothing store ran against Mr.. Tur-
ner's truck team and the shaft of the lat
ter's wagon pierced the knowlton horse
in the neck. The shaft run in about 10
inches and broke off, cutting his windpipe.
The animal was at once taken to Cony
Bros. stable and as it was apparent that
it would soon die, it was shot
Mr.. Murphy and a man with him were
thrown from the wagon, but were not
badly hurt. The wagon was quite badly
smashed.
