Sensational Runaway On Washington Street Ends Near River Channel
A runaway sleigh driven by a country woman on Washington Street yesterday plunged toward the river channel as a crowd watched. The horse bolted at 4 pm, narrowly missing a fall onto rocks below after jerking, dragging the sleigh along Prospect Street and nearly tipping into the water. The derrick boom on the edge of the channel forced the animal to stumble, and the driver held on bravely as the frightened horse tried to regain control. No injuries were reported beyond shock to bystanders.
