Runaway Horse Races Down Jackson Street injuring wagon

A horse pulling a light delivery wagon owned by H D Jones bolted on a Jackson Street morning run. Louis Jones, delivering foods on North Bromley Avenue, stepped inside a door as the animal dashed off and led to a wreck near Main Street when stopped by George Warnke. Several wagons lined the street as the horse leaped the route. The collision with a telegraph pole damaged the wagon and harness. A possible cause cited is stones from children’s sling shots.
