Frightened Horse
Dashes Headlong Into
Plate Glass Window

A wild dash down Rines hill, end.
ing abruptly when the horse draw
ing the wagon involved pushed his
head through the plate glass window
of the Crystal Shoe Shine parlor op-
posite the Kennebec Journal office,
furnished plenty of excitement for
short time about 3 o'clock Tues
day afternoon. The horse, owned
and driven by George Tins of r. r.
ID. D, this city, was uninjured, how
ever, and with the exception of a
small cut sustained by Mr.. Tins
and slight breakage to the wagon
and harness, the only damage was
that of broken windows.
The wagon, loaded with vege-
tables. was being driven down Rines
hill by Mr.. Tins, who was accom-
panied by another man. when the
animal became frightened at an elec-
tric car and jumped ahead. This
threw the wagon onto his heels and
further frightened the horse, which
bolted. Mr.. Tins and his companion
both remained on tho wagon, the
driver attempting to guide the
frightened animal so that an acct
dent could be avoided. Because OF
trafi1c conditions. however. the horse
turned slightly to the left and ran
across the end of the sidewalk by
the shoe shine parlor, driving its
head through the large plate glass
window on the Water street side and
forcing the wagon shaft. which first
hit the wooden frame between the
two windows. through the window
beside the door of the shop. The
morse was soon extricated from til
position and apparently escaped
| without a scratch. A piece of fiyine
glass inflicted small cash on Mr.
inns arm but the other man was
unlnjured. The wagon shaft and q
name strap were broken. this beins
the only damage suffered by thu
| equipage.
