BACK TO 'GOOD OLD TIM ES’ Small Girl Figure« in Run Aaway of Frightened Hot«e«. It is not often we are treated to an old-fashioned runaway. But those who happened to be on Main street at the Plaza Block at 7:45 A. M. Saturday, had just that. A team belonging to J. A. Keltz became frightened up the Winburn Way and was soon out of bounds and ran into a fence near the Park store, wrecked the spring wagon and threw the occupant, a little girl, Susie Keltz out. One horse ran up Main street and one rounded the curve, skidded and fell, sliding 30 feet, almost striking a passing car. Bystanders seized the prostrate equine and got him to his feet. There was no injury to the horse. The little girl received no serious injuries but was slightly jarred and frightened by the accident.
