HORSES RAN AWAY.
Mr. Taffs Team Frightened BY The UnrolIIng Of
Wlrs-Sujnq for $1,000.

Before Jury in Judge Dubois court
this morning was begun the suit Of
Henry Taft, proprietor of Taft's hotel
in Chepatchet against the Western
Union Telegraph Company to recover
$1,000. Mr.. Taft and his wife were on the
2Sth of last December out riding about
four or five miles from the village of
Chepatchet on one of the states fine
roads. Employees of the defendant COR
poration were engaged in stringing
wires and in unroling wire on the
snow, il is claimed, an unusual noise
was made which badly frightened his
span of horses. and notwithstanding his
strength and skill the animals could
not be kept from running away.
In their run they first collided with
a telegraph pole and the carriage and
harness were badly broken. Mr.. Taft
and his wife were thrown out. but ow-
ing to the rugs in the carriage and the
snow on the ground they escaped in
jury. The horses next ran against tho
wagon of the defendant corporation in
which there was some wire. One OF the
horses jumped on this wagon and was
disembowelled. The other ran TO the
woods and was ruined as driving
horse. The horses were worth $500 and
the one that was not killed had to be
sold at very low price.
Negligence on the part or the conf
pany is claimed on account or running
the wire over the ground In a manner
dangerous TO persons using the high
way. The Jury went on a special train
10 the nearest point 10 the accident and
were accompanied by Judge Dubois and
counsel.
John w. Hogan Is counsel for the
plaintiff and Walter II. Barney counsel
for the defendant.
