Accident and Runaway

"Jim," Mr.. E. D. Faulkner's
beautiful Kentucky bred bay horse,
was large and obvious figure in a
runaway Thursday-an unfortunate
affair for which he cannot be held
altogether responsible, but it spoils
his clean score up to this date.
Mr.. Faulkner and Mr.. Morris
Groves, of New York, his guest, were
driving down the Hilltop farm road
late in the afternoon and when near
Dr. G. L. Dana's place, at a steep
pitch, the loose preaching started
the horse and he jumped. Mr..
Faulkner reined him into tree at
the left, to avoid a down hill dash
and other possible perils. The
shock freed Jim" from the carriage,
throwing both men out, but aside
from a scratch or two they were un-
hurt.
Jim" made a sensational run
down the hill and through the vii
lage, where the dust of half hun
bred automobiles had hardly settled,
carrying his reins and strewing
scraps of harness along the way.
He ran down Elm street to Pleasant,
thence to Tribou park, leaping tie
fence and back again; then he re-
turned to Elm street and over the
middle" bridge to Mountain avenue,
trotting quietly into the yard at Mr..
Faulkner's as if he knew just where
to stop. He carefully avoided every
thing in his dash and returned to
the stable without a mark.
The carriage was badly used up
in the collision with the tree. The
broken dasher was bent outwards,
and as it bears no mark of "Jim's"
heels it is supposed Mr.. Faulkner
or Mr. Groves struck it as they went
overheard.
Jim" is not blamed for the acct
dent. He had no check, with which
he has hitherto been driven, and
the lack of it probably had some
thing to do with his actions.

Valuable Horse Missing

Thursday night, the thief also taking

Mr.. Perkins used the mare in the

out in the pasture in the rear of the

night about 9 o'clock. When Mr..
Fuller's family returned home from

ELECTRICIAN KILLED

Arthur P. McCarty, % years old,
an expert electrician, and temporar-
lily in charge of Moody & Almon's
electric plant at Mortified, was in
stantly killed at the electric light
station Tuesday evening. He was
alone at the time and the exact man
ner of his death will never be known.
McCarty was found lying on the
floor in front of the switch box.
The fingers of both hands were bad
Iy burned, and as he was a careful
man it is thought he might have
fallen ON the brushes, thus forming
a complete circuit, and received a
shock of 2;2o0 volts, killing him
instantly.

F. W. B. SMITH
Killed BY Electric Car

Benjamin Mccarthy of Springfield,
father of Mrs. L. z. LaFountain, of
Chester, was killed Sunday night
about 1880 o'clock while walking
on the electric Car track, the wheels
cutting off his left arm aud passing
over his body. He was about so
years old and a machinist.
The motorman says he did not see
Mr., Mccarthy until the car ran over
him. -
The family say that it WIS nothing
unusual for Mr.. Mccarthy to go out
for walk at that time of night. He
had lived in Springfield for 80 years
or more.
