A lively runaway occurred yesterday
morning about 10 O'Clock In the the vi
oinity of Park street,
Mr.. Patrick H. Gorrivan, driver for
Sargent. Dennison & Co., was driving
down Congress street, when his horse
became frightened by the noise Of pas

young western bay horse, started on a
wild run headed for Free street. On Free
street, Opposite the Baptist church, some
workmen were excavating the street and
the runaway bounded over the place
where the workmen were digging. They
escaped without injury.
The horse, with its driver still cling
ing to the reins, continued on the run
until near DR.. G. Q. Files house, where
the driver was thrown from his seat fall
ling under the wheels of his team.
The injured man was picked up and
taken intoIDr. Files house from where
the ambulance was called to take him
TO his home Ponce street. DR.. Files
called Drs. H. g. Hanson and Alfred
King to assist him in attending to the
injury.
Upon examination 1t was found that
the patient was suffering from COM
pound fracture Of the left leg, which it
will take some four months to heal.
About two years ago Mr.. Gorrivan was
laid up for some five months caused by
the breaking of his right leg.
The runaway horse which he WAS dIiv-
ing is the same one that made a break
for liberty week ago from Munjoy hill.
The horse was caught at the corner of
