Levi Hawkins lives directly at the south end of Ohio street, and the horse, possibly blinded by the light from the large front window, or crazed from striking its head against a board fence when it first left the stable, plunged into the yard and ran right into the house, breaking right through the window glass and screen, striking the casing at one side and caving it in, tearing off the lath and plaster, and making a general wreck of that particular part of the house. The family, except Miss Francis Hawkins, had retired, and she was so frightened that it took some time to quiet her. The horse was so injured that it died in twenty minutes.
