Escape Yesterday.

ACC10cnt
Escape Yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Cissell of George
town were thrown from their carriage yes
terday afternoon while driving In the
Geological Park. Their horse became
frightened at the odor of the animals and
bolted furiously just when near the front of
the elephant cage. The carriage went over
at the first jerk and the occupants were
thrown out. They were dragged some dis
lance by the rushing horse, who kicked
savagely at every leap. For time 1t was
thought that Mr.. and Mrs. Cissell would
meet their DEATH but finally they managed
to extricate themselves. The horse, snort
ing. jumping and acting madly, at last
rushed against one of the cages, even max
ing an effort to paw himself in. There he
was caught hold Of by a couple of riders
who had witnessed the accident. In the
meantime Mr.. and Mrs. CiSsen had been as
sisted to their feet. 1t was then found that
Mrs. Cissell had very painfully injured her
ankle and received other hurtful bruises
and Mr.. Cissell was cut about the face and
his chest injured. Mr.. Cissell sent home for
another carriage, the one he had come out
in having been smashed. On the way out,
though, the second vehicle was taken too
sharply around a corner and wheel was
taken Off.
The employment of a third carriage was
therefore found necessary to complete the
evenings ride.
