George Mann Of 81 Wellington street
was considerably shaken up Yesterday
morning while riding in his two wheeled
racing sulky near the Smith, Whiteomb
& Cook machine shop at North Barre.
When about TO leave the cement roadway
to turn for the watering trough, the
horse suddenly slipped and the unex.
peeted jolt removed Mr.. Mann quickly
from his seat, over the whiffletree onto
the horses back. This action caused the
horse to spring to his feet and start up
North Seminary street regardless of the
fact that the driver was being dragged
along the road by the reins, which he
chung to until John Bossi, truekman.
came to his assistance in hating the ex.
cited animal. A sprained thumb and a
few minor bruises about the face and
head were the only injuries sustained,
for, though the light gig turned over in
directions three times, neither
harness nor wheels received any damage.
Having got out of his perilous position
the owner could not be persuaded to
abandon the outfit but. insisted upon
driving the horse home, which he did |
without further trouble.
