Race Horses
are Crippled in
Accident Sunday
Tire Blowout Causes Trailer With
Horses to Overturn and All of
Animals Are Injured.
Sunday afternoon four horses of
the racing stable of Mr3. B. Camp
bell of Fort Worth, Texas, wore
rrippled and injured when the trailer
in which they were being hauled
was overturned on highway No. 75
near the Virgil Perry home south
of this city.
The trailer was being pulled by a
Cadillac car which Raymond Ward of
Fort Worth was driving, the car be
ing owned by J. F. Jenkins, of Arling
ton, Texas, who was also riding
with the driver. The car and trailer
was coming north when a tire on the
large trailer blew out and caused the
:ar to get out of control of the driver
and swung it so that the car col
lided with a car driven by Mrs. Steve
Webb, of Omaha. The trailer was
overturned and the horses injured so
that they will all probably be per
manently crippled and .prove a severe
loss to the owner. In the crash Mrs.
Webb had her nose broken and suf
fered bruises while a Mr. Oggesen,
also of Omaha, who was riding in
the car had his hand injured in the
accident.
The occupants of the Texas car
were uninjured aside from a shaking
up.
The horses were coming from a
racing meet at St. Louis and were
to have shown at the Ak-Sar-Ben
races in Omaha this week.
Sheriff Joe Mrasek and Deputy
Sheriff E. J. Doody were called to the
scene and assisted in getting the
wrecked cars and horses out of the
way and getting traffic straightened
out as there was a jam for a
moments after the accident.
