FARMER DRAGGED
BY SCARED TEAM
George e. Goettsch Gets Hold
of Lines but Cannot Pre-
vent Runaway.
DRIVER BADLY BRUISED
Injuries Viii Not Prove Serious How
eVer-HOrses End Up Against
Telephone Pole.

In trying to avert a runaway this
morning, when his team of partially
broken horses became frightened at
a passing street car, George Z.
Goettsch, a farmer residing near
Coal Valley, caught hold of the
lines, while outside of the vehicle
and was dragged for a distance Of
nearly a block, before he would re-
lease his hold on the reins. He
lay in the road badly bruised, while
the horses dashed down the street
and collided with a telephone pole,
tearing off the right hind wheel Of
the wagon. They were stopped by
George Wilson, who was a witness of
the accident. Goettsch was badly
bruised about the head and should
ers, but his injuries Will not result
seriously.
HORSES NEW IN HARNESS.
Goettsch is in the habit of driving
TO Rock Island every Saturd;I
morning and delivering butter and
eggs 10 his customers. This morn
ing about $50 he left his team,
which had not been driven more
than two weeks, standing in front
Of a residence on Fourteenth avenue
between Thirty-eighth and Thirty
ninth street. He had taken a Jar
Of butter into the house and just as
he reached the front yard a passing
Elm street car caused the animals
to bolt. Goettsch ran out and was
just able 20 grasp the lines. but the
terrific speed of the horses as they
dashed west on Fourteenth avenue
threw him from his feet. The team
rounded the corner at Thirty-eighth
street and continued south. Here it
was that Goettsch was forced to re-
linquish his hold on the lines The
horses ran into the telephone pole
taking heel cfF the spring wagon.
Fortunately. Ccettsch had made his
last stop. so that the eggs and but
ter were not scattered along the
street.
