On the other hand a man without

fatally hurt. They were driving a
single horse to a buggy when 1t

may have lost her reason as re-
suit of the tragic death of her
mother.
The horse took fright and dashed
down Broadway through the
crowded streets. 1t was the noon
hour and the street was filled with
vehicles and pedestrians. The We
hicle was demolished and the
women hurled against the trunk of
tree. Mrs. Johnson's neck was
broken. The surgeons at hospital
believe Mrs. Ostrom is fatally in
jured.
