Frank Hill’s Fast Horse Exceeds Speed Limit.

Frank Hill and Earl Clouse narrowly escaped injury Friday afternoon when his fast driver ran away. Just as ‘they were approaching the Washington street bridge the buggy ih which they were riding became uncoupled and the horse took fright and dashed east on Washington street to Cullen, then north to the Porter livery barn, where it stopped of its own accord. In the fast dash the front wheels struck a corner of the bridge and stripped the harness froin the horse. Neither of the occupants of the buggy were injured to a great extent, although Clouse became slightly entangled in the wheels.
