A SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Mrs William Bostwick, while on the
way to church, Sunday morning, with
her daughter and little son, was the
victim of a runaway accident for which
she was in no way responsible. An
immense dog, said to belong to a gen.
tleman living east of the town, jump |
ed at the horses head. The horse |
started on mad run and Mrs Bost-
wick, son and daughter, were thrown
out near the corner of Church and
East streets. The little girl landed
on her feet and was not badly hurt.
The boy landed on top of his mother,
and then fell against the curb stone.
The injured people were taken into Mr.
Pickett's house, and DR. Wright sum-
moned from St Johns church, where
he had repaired to attend service.
Just how serious Mrs Bostwick's in
jurieS are remain to be seen. The boy
had bad scalp wound, but will come
out all right. Owners of dogs having
tendency to run after horses would
do we'll to keep them off the street.
