Hon. w. s. O'8. Robinson was not in
stantly killed this morning in runa-1
way he had while on his way to Snow
Hill to meet q professional engage
ment. 80
He left the city at an early hour
driving alone, and from the start he
noticed his horse was nervous and in
clined to shy and runs but he man
aged to get as far as Saulston on his
/ journey--some nine miles distant,
when the animal took exception to a
small machine on the roadside and
made a dash, pitching and kicking at
a furious rate and finally getting down
to a headlong run. The Judges only
hope was to hold him in the road till
he should be able to gradually take
him up, but coming to turn in the
road, with deep ditch alongside that
was staked with something like picket
cattle guards, the wild. animal in his
i headlong wheel turned the buggy ap-
side down and pitched himself head
long upon the pickets. killing himself
instantly, while Judge Robinson. as
the buggy turned and was smashed
into splinters by the force of the sud
!. den collision, fell in the ditch, ant
thus only was he saved from instant
. and shocking death.
In his fall his shoulder struck thu
opposite ditch bank with all the force
{ of the fall, and his side was jabbed
, by his elbow, but no bones are brok
: en-, and but for the soreness ant
: shoulder and arm bruises and shock
; he would be out. AS it is he is con
fined to his bed, and may be for SOM
, days, awaiting the reaction.

Fl thastened to the scene fully expecte'
to find Judge Robinson dead, and n
one was more surprised than him
self to find himself alive, while tn
horse lay dead and the buggy smash

He was brought home as quickly a
