NARROW ESCAPE.
Little Son of Rev. B. F
Hyde Knocked Down by
Horse.

What came near being a serious
accident happened to the little child
of Rev.B. F. Hyde at Liberty and
Seventh streets, Thursday.
While Mrs. Hyde was busy in the
house the child, less than three years
old, got out of the yard into the mid
die of the street. Mr.. John Chiffon
was driving at a slow pace, and be-
fore he knew it the child was almost
under the horses feet. Mr.. Chill
ton, seeing the danger the child was
in, checked his horse at once, but not
before the horse struck the child
with one of his knees and knocked
it to the ground.
Mr.. Chiffon jumped out of his
buggy and found that the child,
though having escaped being run
over, was not seriously hurt, it hav-
ing fallen on its face, its nose strik-
ing the ground and causing the blood
to flow freely.
The screams of the child were
heard by it's mother, who rushed out
of the house, fearing that her chile
had been either killed or seriously
hurt. Mr.. Chiffon expressed his re
greet that the accident had occurred
but it was unavoidable. The little
one was carried into the house ant
properly attended to.
