on the run and commenced to KICK.
Mr. Bell pulled him across the street
car track. thinking that he could run into
the sidewalk on that side and stop the
frightened horse. When he had crossed
the track the horse turned down the
street at such a rate OF speed that the
buggy tilted over an ran on two wheels
until both the occupants were thrown
violently to the ground. Mrs. Bell
jumped up. apparently uninjured. but Mr..
Bell did not rise. He had fallen on his
head and shoulders and it was thought
by some of the people nearby that he
was dead.
Some men that were on the walk ran
cut and carried Mr.. Bell into the shade

street and he gradually regained con-

no would soon be all right Some of the
