BADLY HURT IN RUNAWAY.

O. H. McKay, the laundryman, is lying at his home suffering from a limb broken in two places above the ankle and a sprained ankle, the result of his horse getting frightened Saturday evening by a freight train near the Coen & Brady elevator. Mr. McKay jumped from the carriage when the horse started to ran and his contact with the frozen ground resulted as above stated. The buggy and harness was quite badly demolished. Mr. McKay’s injuries will keep him confined to the house for several months, but bis laundry business will be continued right along by bis assistants. The accident is an nnforturnate one and Mr. McKay has the sympathy of the community in his misfortune.
