RECKLESS DRIVING.
G. p. Massey Knocked Down by a
Horse and Severely Injured.

c. p. Massey was run down at Sew

and recklessly driven by a boy.
Mr.. Massey was stunned, and when
picked up was found to have q num-
Der of severe contusiens and bruises

sciousness returned, he complained Of
severe pains in his abdomen, and it
was found that one of his hips had
been injured. His clothing was disar-
ranged and torn and he was badly
bruised in a. dozen places, but not, it is
thought, seriously hurt. He was treat

down his victim the young fellow, in
stead of stopping, according to eye Wit

went north on Seventh street at rae
ing speed. His name was not learned,
but he is well known by sight. He
drives a white horse, and wears a red
sweater. He will probably be picked
up by the police and be made to an
