Horse Took Fright at Passing Locomotive and Dragged Him i Along Street. B. F. Barnes, the restaurant man, received injuries just before noon today that may confine him to his bed for several days. He was on his rounds delivering bread and had just made a delivery at Remley’s resturant at the depot and was standing In the restaurant talking when he was informed that a train was coming and he left the restaurant to look after the horse. As he reached the street the horse had started to run and Mr. Barnes grabbed the wagon in an attempt to reach the lines. The wagon was overturned on him and passed over his body on the frozen ground. The horse was stopped by a bystander after running about a hundred feet without any injury to the rig or horse. Mr. Barnes was carried to the restaurant and later removed to his rooms in the Republican building. His body was badly scratched in a number of places and he is suffering considerable from a wrench over his hip. It is too early yet to tell If he suffered any internal Injuries, and while the physician does not apprehend any serious re suits, it will be several days before he can resume his work.
