passing moment at, the busy hour of
Thursday afternoon. The horse, at
tached to light sleigh, became fright
ened while standing in front of the How
land block The owner was coming out
of a store when the horse started and
he was too late to ride and just in time
to collect the loose contents OF the sleigh
as they were distributed along the street.
The horse kept on going gathering speed
as other horses and people opened the
way for him along South Main street.
A few feeble attempts were made to halt
the progress of the animal, but they were
unavailing for the most part and it was
not until he reached a familiar barn on
the quarry road that he stopped. Sew
eral times while the horse was still in
the city limits the sleigh became over
turned, but it escaped damage.
