 DRAGGED BY TRAIN
Frightened Equine Smashes Chestnut St.. Crossing Gates

Running away on Chestnut street about 2:;o o'clock this morning. a horse owned by R. G. Miller Sons Co. crashed through the Chestnut street railroad gates and dashed at a mad speed up the tracks toward Church street crossing. Pulling q milk delivery wagon after it, the animal might not have stopped for some distance had it not been for the fact that the wheels Of the wagon caught in switch. The horse was thrown heavily but es- capped with only abrasions and other injuries about the head and shoul- ders.
 Sergeant P. A. McAvay, who in- vestigated the accident, reported that George Schaefer of 35S Elm street and Nelson Bowler Of 6l Main street were delivering milk when the horse became frightened by a passing freight train. Bowler held the bridle while Schaefer got Into the seat and seized the reins. while the horse kicked and snorted before making a dash towards the gates to the west of the place where the milk was being delivered.
 Bowler was pulled to the ground and forced to release his hold on the bridIe and Schaefer stayed in the seat until the gates were reached, when he jumped to safety. Left without restraint. the horse in creased it's speed and snapped off the gates as though they were match sticks.
 Dr. B. D. Radcliffe. veterinary surgeon. was called and found the horse entansled in the harness on the Church street crossing. and he was informed that . s~itchng engine and caboose had dragged the horse and team several feet If such was the case, Dr. Radcliffe marvelIed at the horses escape from death. He examined him for broken bones and found none. and unless an infection , sets in the horse will recover. he said. It is being cared for at Dr. Radcliffe's hospital on Franklin Square.
