Show HORSE RUNS AWAY; MAN HURT I Johnson & Anderson's delivery horse, while standing at the rear of their second-hand store on First North Wednesday evening, got scared at a piece of paper which an Inconsiderate whirlwind whisked around under his feet, and ran away. The animal dashed out the alley onto First North, narrowly missed the Kvcrton rig, whipped the vehicle around a telephone tele-phone pole or two, and finally bumped It Into a tree In front of llisliop Lewis' property. Tliero wasn't much left of the vehicle by this time, so his equine fl1 lordship relieved himself or herself of the burden and continued on toward California at a pace calculated to land him or her on the coast of the briny deep In something more than three hours. The remains of the vehicle were gathered uo and many were tho regrets as the cortege wended Its way to one of those establishments that undertake to make nesv vehicles out of ( fragments. That the accident did not result in ! the death of Mr. Anderson, of he llrm, was not the horse's fault. At tho time the animal started to run, Mr.. Anderson was directly in ills path heaving away at some heavy article. Tho horse didn't do a thing but treat him as "Maud" docs "Si" In the Sunday Sun-day comics walked up his back, dragged tho wagon after lilni or her and then kicked a few times. Mr. Anderson laid still a few minutes after the cyclone had passed, finally mustered mus-tered courage enough lo pick himself up, and found that though tho horse had tramped in ills face, set another hoof on Ills diagram, left the print of a tire on his sarcophagus and put a wheeze in his phalanx he was otherwise other-wise unhurt No bones were broken, and after a day's rest hi bed and a copious annolntmeut with Gam-bout Gam-bout ts' famous French liniment lie Is In better shape than any second-hand man In trie country. |
