The Newtown bee., 1907-05-10

George B. Fairchild had quite live ly runaway, last Friday morning. MT Fairchild had rted, to drive to South Britain to see friends, and while driv- ing down through the Glen the whiffle- tree broke, hitting his horses legs and causing 1t to run and get beyond his control. When he reached the Fabric Fire Hose Go. s shop he tried to turn up the hill towards their barn, and as he was rounding the corner, which is a sharp turn, the buggy was overturned and MT Fairch1ld thrown out. The horse continued running up the hill and through the yard of the barn, out across the lots and back into the road, and headed for NewtOwn at a lively gait. The animal continued running up through Sandy Hook and on towards Newtown and was not stopped until it reached the High school, when some of the boys brought it to stand still. The buggy was still attached to the horse, bottom side up. The vehi- cle was badly broken but the horse was not seriously injured. MT Fair child escaped with a few scratches and bruises but was quite badly shaken up. After resting awhile at the home of George Yahrous, he was able to walk home, preferring to do that to trusting himself so soon again behind horse. Josiah Tilson kindly secured the horse at c. H. Gays yard and led it to the barn of Elmer w. Fairchild, at the head of the Street, where the horse was cared for.
