THREE HORSE HITCH GOES
THROUGH A WINDOW

One of the big oil wagons of the
Standard Oil Company drawn by three
horses figured in an accident yester-
day afternoon at Vernon Square. The
plate glass window in the drug store
and the passengers on a Quinsigamond
car came within two feet of being
mixed up in the wreck. Only for the
presence of mind of the motorman,
who reversed the power of the car
when he saw the team of horses bear
ing down upon 1t, the car would have
been in the mixup.
The driver of the wagon had been
delivering oil to the store of L. Du-
breuil & Son at Vernon Square and
had removed the chain from the wheels
when the horses became frightened at
something and started to run. The
driver caught the head of one Of the
horses and a bystander another horse
and would have brought the team to a
halt if it had not been for the pole
horse, which, having no one to hold
him, continued his mad flight. The
horses ran straight across the square
against the plate glass window which
was shattered by the pole which went
through 1t. The horses We're got under
control and turned around into the
street. The driver of the wagon re-
paired the forward chain which was
broken and proceeded on his way. No
one was hurt but the man in charge of
the drug store got a good fright when
he saw the horses bearing down upon
the window.
