Mr. Isaac Johnson, the well-known farmer just north of the city, was the the victera of a runaway Friday afternoon. lie was returning from a field in which lie it ad Veen at work with {i gang plow, to which he had three horses attuobed. Jn coming down a hill the horses became frightened and dushed off at a speed beyond his ability to control, the animals being largo and powerful. The plow striking a post ho was thrown from his seat to the ground, and being tangled up in the reins was dragged some distance,receiving bruises and it Is feared internal injuries, the wonder being that lie was not killed outright. Freed from a guiding hand the horses in their mad run dashed through two wire fences, taking tho plow with them, a moment later striking a pump pulling the entire stock out of the well, and were finatfy halted by coming into contact with a post which refused to yield to the shock and strain Imposed by the terrible blow given it by tho plow. The horses received no serious injury by the sudden stoppage, their only hurts having come from the ba.tbB which tore their fieBh in many places. As stated Mr. Johnson seemed to bo suffering from internal injuries, which, however, we trust is not the case. We hope to hear of his speedy recovery.
