Horses Bolt After Wires Downed Cause Delivery Run
An overhead wire struck two horses attached to Robert Portner Brewing Company’s delivery wagon yesterday afternoon. The pair bolted from in front of Edward Kouitz’s North Market Street restaurant and galloped up the street, veering aside but staying in motion until stopping near Thomas Danner’s restaurant after a two block dash. The route had them traveling directly from Koontz’s restaurant to Danner’s, seemingly without the driver’s control.
