Friday evening of last week, as Damon
Bearce and Charles Holt were driving
down Madison Ave, their carriage col
lided with the team of George York
standing in front of George D. Arnold's
residence in which was Mrs. York. The
shock threw Mrs. York out, broke the
shaft and whipple-tree of the York team,
the horse of which swerved around,
cleared himself and made a wild rush
down through the business section and
across the bridge. Just at the time the
frenzied animal reached the end OF the
south bridge II. A. Hight and lady
friend were driving on to the bridge
from the opposite direction, and the
loose horse made a wild Jump across
their carriage taking the top and seat
completely off, crushing the vehicle
down and throwing out the occupants.
1t was done and over so quickly that
juet what happened is hard to determine.
Most mlraculously the occupants of this
team escaped injury. The runaway was
stopped Immediately after, but the
animal was found to have cut himself in
several places.
