any doubt that the owner of the horse

ing on Exchange street near tho corner OF
Dyer ana opposite his outfit was one of

about filled up the street beween the two
teams. John jefferson, engineer at tho
BaDigan building, started on his bike for
the corner OF Dyer street. He was soon
between the two teams with the restau-
rant vehicle preventing any forward
movement. He got so far INFO the visa-
like situation that there was not room TO
get oil without heing in danger from
going under tho feet of the horses Of
either Bergen or the victualler's team.
Retreat was Of course impossible SO no

gems wagon 60 steady himself but missed
them and one of his hands hit the
horse on the bip which caused tho
horse TO run at as lively gait as
possible. for short distance.

feet The contents of Mr. Bergens wagon
were distri buted over the street the shafts
Of the wagon wero broken, the wagon
otherwise damaged and the horses legs
cut Mr.. Bergen said he had already spent
GA. 30 on the wagon and 10 would require
an equally large expenditure TO put the
wagon in shape, while as for the horse
IL nad lost its gontleness and would not
now stand for any number Of moments

contended that his client bad been guilty
Of no negligence having merely put out his
hand TO save himself from buing thrown
under the horses feet.
