A RUNAWAY TEAM COLLIDES WITH HACK Horses Driven by T. C. Yroman Frighten ed by a Passing Rig THEY DASHED DOWN CHICAGO AVENUE 0.13 Animal Seriously Injured and Vehicle of Parxele's Livery Barn is Badly Damaged An exciting runaway, that resulted in ue horse being- seriously injured and a hack bad!y damaged, occurredat noon Fritlay, when a team belonging to T. C. Yroman became frightened and dashed down Cnicag-o avenue, colliding with the hack near I'armele's livery stable. While Mr. Vroman was preparing to return home from the vicinity of South Tenth street and Chicago ave nue, where he was plowing a garden, the team was frightened by another being driven by rapidly. As Mr. Vro man was climbing in the back of the wagon, they started to run, but before he could obtain the lines, they had struck an exceedingly lively gait. At the bridge which leads to Tenth street from the avenue, the team be ing out of the road, caused the wagon to be hurled into the ditch, when they swerved to cross the structure. The wagon-box was tossed over the railing at the edge cf the bridge, while the driver was thrown to one side, thus escaping injury with the exception of a number of bruises and scratches. After freeing themselves from the running gears, the terrified animals continued their mad flight down Lin coln avenue.occasioning the occupants of other rigs a bad scare, until arriv ing opposite I'armele's barn, they crashed into the rear of a hack which wa standing in the road. One of the horses barely missed the vehicle which was turned completely over the shock. The steel spring at the of the hack was plunged in the breast of one horse several inches. With one animal underneath the con veyance and the other unable to es scape from the spring, it required sev eral moments for men to separate them. Dr. A. P. Barnes was hastily sum moned to dress the injured animal, which he thinks will recover with careful treatment. This is the same team that caused some excitement on Main street about a week ago, when they got away from the driver acd ran down street until stopped at the dapot. by Next Year Is Leap Year.
