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.
