ming at 5.45 at the corner of Main and
Summit streets, Mrs. Norwood receiv-
ing bad injuries. Mr. and Mrs. Nor
wood started out for short drive this
evening about o'clock, partly for the
sake of a ride and partly to exercise
DR. e. w Norwood's horse. DR.. Nor
woods horse is quite vicious animal,
and generally speaking has to be driv-
en- right on the bit all the time, as he
is apt to be feeling good, and if not
handled about right is liable to cause
trouble. Mr.. and Mrs Norwood drove
over to Moose Hill farm, on East Main
street, about a half mile from the
centre of the village, there turning
around and drove back towards the viii
| lage.
When they arrived at the top of Main
street hill, they met two electric cars,
one following directly back of the 9TH
er. The horse seemed to pay but little
| attention to these two cars, but about
| fifty yards back of the first car, still a
third one came, and this one proved to
( be one too many Mr. Norwood said
| that when they got opposite the third
car 1t began to flicker, and at this the
| horse gave a frantic leap into the air
and swerved onto the left side of the
road. AT the corner of Main and Sum
nit streets there is a hydrant, and this
is what proved disastrous.
| When the horse SHE'D he brought the
carriage In contact with the hydrant,
which struck directly inside the left
wheel of the carriage tipping it over
and throwing both occupants heavily to
the ground. Mrs. Norwood, who was
sltChg on the iell side OF the carriage,
was thrown Vloiehtiy TO the GROUND

Or II: W. Norwood was called, and re
moved mrs. Norwood to her home on
ASH street On examination, it was
round that Mrs: Norwood's collar bone
was broken, and possibly she may have
received some internal injuries.
After the carriage had struck the
| Migrant, the horse freed himself and
ran down Main street hill at a terrific
pace until he arrived at the home of
Dr. Norwood, where he went directly
INTO the barn. On turning into the
driveway the horse struck the corner
OF the fence, and received a. very bad
injury, which Dr. Norwood is afraid
may prove serious. The carriage is an
utter wreck.

nave always lived in Spencer, and il
being their home, it is not at all strange
that they feel bad, and do not wish to
leave the good old town. The princi-
