FINE HORSES RUN
AWAY ON GADSDEN

Considerable excitement was Gre
ated. on East Gadsden street at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon when a
span of fine horses, from one of the
downtown stables, dashed at full
speed westward on Gadsden, starting
near the intersection of Fourteenth
avenue, where IL was said they had
become frightened at some object.
Dashing madly westward, the
horses slackened their speed only
when train was encountered on
Railroad street. The switching Of the
train caused them to Ddecrease their
speed, but not before the safety gates
which had been let down, had been
smashed by the frightened animals.
The north section of the gate on the
east side of the track was gone over
with a crash.
They had been hitched to coach
during the early part of the after
noon and Captain Smell drove them.
Taking fright, they were soon IN
manageable, and started to run. Two
ladies who were in the carriage, left
it in some manner, and when the
horses had travelled but a short dis
tance the front wheels had become
detached from the heavy carriage
and this gave the animals full rein.
