Shortly after ! O'Clock yesterday aft.
ernoon horse driven by a travelling
man became frightened at the sight and
the rumbling of the cement mixer on
the paving job on North Main street
and started to make things rather lively
in that district. The driver was power
less to check the flight OF the horse.
Running but a few rods the team struck
a telephone post and the occupant of the
team was hurled several feet out of
his vehicle onto one of the lawns of u
North Main street residence. The driv
er was uninjured. The shafts of the
buggy were badly shattered so that the
person was obliged to secure
a new hitch to make his trip. Late in
the evening, disregarding all danger
signs distributed along the street, some
careless driver crashed through the rope
guarding the newly eemented strip of
pavement near the old Northern hotel.
No damage was incurred to the pave
ment which has been set for several
days. but the horse received slight I
slight bruises and cuts as the result
of the contact with the stout ropes.
When the steed struck the ropes it was d
at very fast clip. :
