Another Account.

The horse broke loose from the buggy
after Mr. C )ok was thrown out on the
pike and ran into Columbia and was
caught on the square in front of j. T.
Street Il Co.'S. A piece of barbed wire
was found in the horses tail and another
theory which is thought to be the correct
one. is that the wire was y ing 10 the
road and one of the fore wheels of the
buggy ran over it, caus ng it to fly up
and lodge in the horse Is tail; and as the
horse would step the "lre would strike
him on the leg; winch caused him to
run away.
