Considerable excitement was caused
In the vicinity of the Grand Trunk sta
ton Wednesday forenoon, when four,
horse team attached to heavy truck
wagon took fright at the Harry Brown
auto truck and started down Beal Street,
going but short distance before they
ran into some trees and most OF the
horses were thrown to the ground. One
of the horses In the lead was severely In
jured by the pole OF the wagon. A vet
Urinary summoned ordered the horse
killed as he was injured internally, but
the animal was allowed to suffer for
some hours before being put out OF his
misery. The horses at the time they
were frightened, were feeding, and &C
cording to the usual custom, the brides
were removed without unfastening the
horses from the wagon. A rather care
less performance surely, and those who
saw the beginning Of the trouble also
state that the driver of the auto truck
used very little caution in approaching
as near to the feeding horses as he did.
The horses were owned by Virgil Little
field of East Stoneham and driven by a
young man or perhaps boy would be .
better word, who was greatly distressed
over the outcome of the accident. How
ever, as the boy did nothing but what
the older drivers are accustomed to do,
he seems to be blsmeless.
