An Accident.

An accident which might easily have had fatal results occured on Church street Monday afternoon. Will Holland, accompanied by his sister, May, was driving a spirited young horse which, as it neared the Methodist church, began to run. Both the young people grasped the reins and the horse swerved and ran between two telephone poles, smashing the cutter into kindling wood and sending the occupants flying into the air. Loose from the cutter the horse went quietly home while the two young people picked themselves up and went into Henry Coe's, opposite whose house the accident happened. There they telephoned their parents that they were not injured, and Mrs. Coe bathed May's face, which was badly bruised by coming in contact with the frozen ice and snow. It was sometime before they decided to visit a physician to find if there was any decided damage done, but, on entering Dr. F. H. Rollins' office, it was quickly discovered that May had her right wrist broken in two places. Until that time the arm had been numb. Will escaped with a few very light bruises. People who saw the accident claim that the two were thrown at least ten feet into the air. As the horse had heretofore been perfectly safe, it is supposed that he had been harnessed too near to the cutter and struck and hurt his foot in his high spirits, thus frightening him. No one can be thankful enough that both the young people were not killed by their wild experience. Today we hear that May is as comfortable as can be expected, and that there will be no serious effects to either face or arm.
