ran into Ed. Purcell's delivery
wagon, up setting il. The team
was finally stopped by Arthur
Doty. The Hansen team start
ed from East Erie and ran west
to the Post Office where they
collided with the Purcell de-
livery wagon, throwing Mr..
Purcell to the ground. He
managed to hold his team from
running away but the other
team would have caused more
damage had it not been for
Arthur Doty. He grasped one
of the horses, which were pitch
ing and plunging and held onto
them like a bull dog until he
finally stopped them at Fourth
AMI Erie. Little damage vas
done to either wagon.
