Show lluu Over and Hun. John Fray, a laboring man, was run over at noon today on the west crossing at the intersection of Main and Second South streets. E. W. Tillon was driving driv-ing a young horse hitched to a buggy, and at tho point indicated the animal became nervous and fractious at the sight of an electric car. Mr. Tilton had him well in hand , when the horse suddenly sud-denly bolted, making two or three bounds. Frey was struck and knocked down, and the vehicle passed entirely over him. He was picked up by bystanders, and Mr. Tilton, who had quieted his horse and given him in charge of a friend, followed the injured man to a doctor's office. It was found that Frey was not seriously hurt, but had received a couple of severe gashes on the forehead, over the right eye, and a contusion of the wrist. He was bleeding bleed-ing freely when the surgeon took him iu hand aud dressed his injuries. At no time was Frey unconscious, and he entirely exonerated Mr. Tilton from all blame. Mr. Tilton assumed all expenses ex-penses for medical attendance upon Frey, aud will look after his comfort until able to go to work again. |
