A driving horse owned by Alderman E. B. Finney, driven by Wm. Cramer, frightened by a bicycle collision at Central avenue and Third street, threw Miss Dorothy Finney and Mr. Cramer. Joe Kohl was thrown and injured, his wheel wrecked. The horse ran to Maple street and was captured. Miss Finney suffered a severe shock but has recovered. Kohl was badly bruised. Cramer and Kohl were treated, and Blodgett bought the Parish business corner in Grand Rapids, with plans uncertain. The city seeks a first class hotel, as the Dixon is the only $2 daily lodging nearby.
