Joseph Smith and wife from Goose Island narrowly escaped serious injuries when their horse bolted at a steam roller on the causeway project linking city sides. The frightened horse backed a light wagon into a street car, overturning the wagon and throwing the couple to the pavement as they traveled with a load of strawberries. The horse fled into the marsh water but was unharmed and later rescued as workers freed the harnessed animal.
