a little while there was plenty of ex-
element in that vicinity. The horse was
one which was being driven by John Nc
Nally and in the wagon with him was
his son James
They were near the foot OF Broadway
when the girth broke and this let the
shafts OF the vehicle up near the head
o. the horse and at the same time the
wagon came with considerable force
against the animals heels. Before he
could be stopped the startled horse gave
a leap and then there was wild dash
toward Main street square.
The affair took place shortly before 8
o'clock and at that hour the street was
pretty well filled with teams and pedes-
trians, but Mr.. McNally very skifully
guided the frightened animal through the
maze until 1t reached the foot OF high
street
An attempt was made at this point to
turn the horse up the hill. but he refused
10 answer the rein and instead OF turning.
the horse and wagon dashed into a pile
OF stones and dirt which had been thrown
up at the corner by the workmen who
are making the change In the curbing
lines on Main street In an instant the
wagon was overturned throwing both oc-
cupants into the street.
Right at the corner when the fright
ened horse reached II were quite num-
ber OF persons and among these were
several women. One lady, a Mrs. NAH
Ter whose home is in South Attleboro,
was not quick enough in escaping and
she was struck a glancing blow by one
OF the wheels OF the wagon. She was
Knocked TO the ground and those who
witnessed the affair believed that she
had been seriously injured.

near by when the runaway came into the

and the lady was taken into a barber
shop close by while DIR. Dwlnell. who
happened 10 be passing. attended TO her
II was found that there were no broken
bones and only a few slight bruises and
that the greatest damage had been caused
by fright
When the wagon went over the horse
continued on its wild run, but 1t did not
make very fast progress and 1t was
stopped only a short distance away. The
elder Mr.. McNally received rather bad
cut on the head from which the blood
flowed very freely. but the younger man
did not appear TO be injured at all.
John McNally appears TO be fated to
receive Injuries as the result OF his hand
ling horses. 1t was only few months
ago that In attempting TO stop n horse
which had bolted from stable on Broad
way that the animal slipped and fell its
whole weight on him and the result at
the time was very nearly fatal In fact
the man has only been about his duties
q few weeks now.
