A pair of horses belonging to Caspar
Roeder of North Hinsdale became fright
ened Saturday morning while standing
near the fish market on Elliot street and
started to run towards Main street. Mr.
Roeder, who was standing near by, sue
ceeded in getting upon the sled which was
loaded with barrels, before the team had
gained much Roadway, but he could not
stop the horses. He managed to turn the
animals down Main street, but could not
rein them out Flat street, as he tried TO do.
The horses ran upon the sidewalk in front
of Ii. M. Woods store where the sled was
overturned and Mr.. Roeder thrown off.
Here the harness broke, setting free the
horses, and they continued down the side
walk as far as the Main street bridge be-
fore taking to the road. E. Haskell, who
was on the sidewalk at the time, was
pinned to the wall by the pair and slightly
injured. The animals were stopped near
the depot. There was no damage aside
from that to the harness.
