(From Saturday ' Daily.) ,
Barely escaping with his life as , a
result of being knocked from his ex
press wagon bv a runaway team at the
intersection of Commercial and Court
streets yesterday afternoon, shortly
after 2 ocloeky Amon H. Damon is now
resting comfortably at his home.
Terribly shaken op, his body a mass
of bruises and a deep cot above his
right eye, the aged expressman con
gratulates himself that his injuries are
not greater than they are.
Other casualties oi tne irigntiui ae-
eident are a fearfully lacerated team
: of horses, one of whieh may have to
' be put out of his agony, owned by
Silas M. x lctcher & c;o ana a aemoi-
ished truck wagon, owned by the in
jured man.
It all happened so quickly that even
the by-standera who viewed it give only
the most meager descriptions of it.
Those who were closest to hand were
unable to avert the catastrophe, and
Mr. Damon does not yet fully compre
hend what it was that knocked him
from his seat on the truck.
' Mr. Damon was driving down Com
mereial street, shortly after 2 o'clock,
and slowly approaching Court street.
At the same time a team of maddened
horses owned by S. M. Fletcher & Co.
came tearing up Court streeet, dangling
double-trees snapping at tneir legs,
nrging them wildly on toward Commer
cial street.
Just on the ear track on Commercial
street the express wagon and runaway
team met. IM ever for a trice stopping
or swerving from their aimless course,
the runaway team rushed blindly upon
the Damon .outfit. Both horses rose
into the air as they struck the truck
wagon, the off horse topping it and
knocking Mr. Damon from his set to
the pavement, where he struek the car
rail, cutting a horrible gash above his

perfeet. Eight other numbers complet

oughly enjoyed by those present.
