Show SERIOUS ACCIDENT. About 11 a.m. yesterday, Mr. Jabez [?] W. Taylor, carpenter, of the 11th ward, was riding in a buggy, in the 21st ward. The animal suddenly shied, causing him to be thrown out upon the hard ground, striking upon his left temple, in which, of course, he was considerably injured. The vehicle, at the same time, turned bottom side up, striking the right thigh of the prostrate man as it descended. Mr. Taylor was carried into the house of Mr. Irons, close by, in an insensible condition, and subsequently conveyed to his home by Mr. James White of the 11th ward. The horse broke loose from the buggy and ran off, at a [unreadable] rate with the [unreadable], fetching up at the residence of Mr. Case, from the 10th ward school house, where it rushed through the entrance gate and stopped in front of the house, with its fore feet upon the porch. Mr. Taylor was very ill yesterday from the shock, but we are pleased to learn that none of his bones were broken. He will probably be able to be around again in a few days, unless seriously injured internally. - News |
