MISS CATHERINE A. LEE
 INJURED IN RUNAWAY.
Fell from Horse as Animal Dashed
 Up Cedar Street.

Thrown from a horse which she was riding early Thursday morning, Miss Catherine A. Lee, daughter of9AIr. and Mrs. John M. Lee, of No. 39 Cliff street, had a very narrow and fortu- nate escape from serious injury. She is confined to her home, suffering from shock, bruises and a general shaking up.
 Miss Lee, who is a student at the Norwich Free Academy. was on the way to school Thursday morning with several girl companions. Near the corner of Perkins avenue and Broad way a local horseman came along and the young ladies, who are well ac- qualnted with him, asked him to give them a ride. He at first demurred, but knowing that the horse was well behaved, he at length placed Miss Lee Perkins avenue a short distance, turn ed around and started back. It is thought that the horse became fright ened at the rustling of her skirt, as it suddenly started off at a fast rate, crossed Broad&ay and went up Slater avenue. Although the hill is steep at that point, the animal kept madly on and turned into Cedar street. Miss Lee held on pluckily, but her strength gave out near the jail and she fell to the ground. She was picked up and Dr. Louis T. Cassidy summoned. MT. Lee was also notified. Dr. Cassidy, finding no broken bones, took her home in his automobile. In the fall she received number of painful bruises and scratches. The horse was stopped a short distance from the jail and was taken back to the stable.
