Bad Runaway
This Morning

A serious runaway accident took
place this morning about o'clock
when Mr.. A. L. Filters team became
frightened just below the govern
ment building, on West Main street
by some means got on the sidewalk
on the east side Of Main street, rum
ming the full length Of the street be-
tween Summer and Depot streets,
tearing up everything their mad rush.
Mr.. Filters was thrown from the wag-
on, which contained tierce of to-
bacco, soon after the team started to
run, and it was first thought that he
was killed. He was picked up and
rushed to the city hospital where it
was found that he was painfully cut
and bruised but his injuries are not
thought to be Of a serious nature.
The big tierce Of tobacco was
thrown to the sidewalk in front of the
Ellenburg store, where the team
struck one Of the big iron light posts,
smashing the lights. Both the big
plate glass windows in the Ellenburg
front were broken, as were also the
glass doors to the entrance Of W. F,
Lanes home, adjoining. The horses
separated themselves from what was
left of the wagon at this point, con-
tinuing their way to the Greene coun-
ty Bank corner, where one of the
horses slipped and fell, the tongue Of
the wagon still dangling to the broken
harness. The horses were caught
here and taken I'd the barn.
The street was comparatively free
from autobomiles and vehicles at the
time and for this reason doubtless
much further damage was averted.
The accident attarcted hundreds Of
people to the scene within a very few
minutes.
Mr.. Filters is one of the best
known citizens Of the south side Of
Chuckey river, and his friends will re-
greet to learn of his unfortunate mis-
hap.
