Runaway.
Last Monday evening DIR. Iszard's horse
ran away at Pitman Grove, wrecking the
carriage. and it is feared fatally injuring
itself. The Doctor left the animal in charge
of his driver while attending patient, and
the driver walked the animal up and down
the road, rather than hitch in the cold. A
passing train frightened the horse, and it
became unmanagable. Running up the
walk fronting the Grove, the carriage struck
a post in front of Focer's store. and turned
end over. Loosened from the carriage, the
horse ran at great speed to where a trunk
crosses the road when it stumbled, and by
measurement went distance of forty feet
before it struck the ground. Gathering
himself up the horse ran to John SINNERS
place, where he was caught The man was
badly cut by glass and bruised, the carriage
wrecked and the horse SO badly injured as
to be useless.
