Runaway Horse
Jumps Into Carriage,

Having horse jump into the buggy
with them and then have him kick it
to pieces, throwing them out into the
mud. was the thrilling experience of
Charles Vashon and Frank Carey,
Thursday afternoon, when spirited
horse, driven by Howard Morse, took
fright at an electric car in front of the
Unitarian church on Main street, and
dashed across the street and up into
the team occupied by the young men.
Vashon and Carey were driving up
the right side of the street, and as
their wagon was an open one they
had an umbrella raised and were hold
ing it on the left side to protect them
from the rain. They did not know
that Mr. Morse had lost control of his
horse until the animal was in the car
riage with them. After few minutes
of pluneing, rearing, and kicking the
horse driven by Mr.. Morse succeeded
in reducing to spinters the team ir
which the boys had been riding and in
the course of the fracus both young
men were pitched into the gutter.
They were more frightened than in
jured and were able with the assist
anc of hystanders to clear away the
wreckage. Mr.. Morse's buggy or horse
did not suffer any injury, while the
other vehicle was completely demol-
