His Horse Has Its BackBroken
and is Shot ,
An accident which was fearful in iti
dangers , but very fortunate in iti re-
sultp , occurred on the read west of
the nail works Sunday , between
6 and 7 o'clock. It will be remem
bered that for some distance the road
runs along by South Omaha creek ,
filled with running water , and at one
point a barn juts out into the road seas
as to hide the view for a little distance ,
The owner of this barn has a dog
which has been taught to chase stray
atiimaU , and occasionally runs after
passing teams for Its own amusement.
Mr. Chris. Hartman had been out
visiting his father , inHartraan's addi
tion , and was on his way home , accom
panied only by his little four year old
boy Fred , who eat on the seat at his
left. The horse ho was driving was a
very valuable animal , one for which
ho would have taken § 300 and was
so gentle that any lady could drive
him with safely. As Mr. Hartman
drove up to the barn the dog
ran out , raising a cloud
of dust and sprang at the
horse's noee. The horse plunged und
the dcg sprang at him again. This
time he kicked and as the dog fol
lowed him alternately plunged and

perhaps ten feet high and the horse
made straight for this. At first hie

About 8 o'clock Sunday evening
Nellie Brpwn and a colored woman
named "Pinkey" for the sake of
enphony , two well-known women of
; ovrn , met with an accident that came
near giving Coroner Jacobs a job ,
They took a little too much of
the "Qh bo joyful" on Sunday
and in the evening said to
themselves "we wil } wander by the
river-side. " They did so and found
two barges and a small skiff anchored
to the rip-nips. In attempting to
step from a barge into the small boat
they tipped the latter to one. side and
in a moment more were struggling in
water fifteen feet deep and the color
of well creamed coffee , They had the
the presence of mind to
seize thu ropes and sustain thomr
selves for the moment although they
were helpless to extricate themselves
from the perilous position.
Peter Kuhn , one of the U. P.
watchmen , rushed to the rescue and
pulled out the colored woman just ai
she was hallooing like one possessed.
Nellie was brave as a lion , and did not
utter a cry. After the colored woman
was landed aho continued her cries
the burden of them being , "Save
