AUTO STRIKES HORSE AND
CART

An accident occurred near the
cross roads at Harrisville, about six
O'Clock Monday evening, whereby
Albert Barrett was thrown from his
cart, fortunately escaping with
slight injuries, but lost valuable
horse, which was his pride, as it
was a very fine animal.
Barrett was returning from work
with his horse and cart and was run
into by an auto driven by Harry
Shires who asserts he was blinded
by the glaring lights of an approach
ing machine and did not see the
horse and cart.
The cart was overturned, and
Barrett thrown out, the horse with
shafts attached running up the road
some distance and falling dead by
the roadside.
AS there were no marks of injury
on the animal it is thought death
might have been caused by fright.
The horse was high-spirited, fine
animal.
