LADIES SUFFER
 FROM RUNAWAY

Miss Essie Young and Mrs. w. I. Snow had a miraculous escape from death yes- terday afternoon when the horse they were driving became unmanageable and ran down Red mountain. Mrs Snow and Miss Young were thrown from the buggy in front of Dr. B. A. Fox's residence on Seventeenth avenue, but the three lit- tie children of Mrs. Shows were not thrown out until the buggy reached Thir- teenth avenue
 Miss Young was taken to the Hillman hospital in Greens ambulance and Mrs. Snow in an automobile. Neither were injured seriously. Mrs. Snow suffered a sprained shoulder. Miss Young was se- verely bruised by the fall but after re- ceiving treatment at the Hillman she was able to go to her home in Pratt City. Mrs. Snow was taken to her home in Rosedale by her husband later in the | afternoon. The three children were unin- jured. although they were thrown out on the hard pavement when the horse was running at top speed
 The buggy struck the curbing and was demolished. There was scarcely a whole piece in it when the horse finally broke loose. The horse was caught in front of the Phoenix club. His front leg was broken at the ankle and 1t is thought that it will be necessary to kill him.
 Mrs. Snow and Miss Young were com ing from Rosedale and had just reached the top of Red mountain when the horse became frightened and dashed down the mountain as fast as he could run. The Rosedale road is very narrow here on &C., count of the construction of the Edge wood car line, and it is considered won- derful that the woman and children were not dashed down the side of the noun tain.
