THROWN FROM WAGON.

Louis Eoltzhauser, boy employed by David A. Ohman as delivery clerk at his Stanley street grocery store, was thrown from the wagon and painfully bruised this morning when his horse became frightened and bolted. The runaway started at the top of Church street hill, but young Holtzhauser held grimly to the lines until opposite Baker & Lasher's office when the horse took to the sidewalk, throwing him out. He was taken into Baker & Lashers office where his wounds were dressed.
