MRS. JESSE NICHOLS INJURED.

UMrs. Jesse Nichols was slightly injured in a runaway accident Saturday night, that for a while promised to assume dangerous proportions. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols, were returning to their home from town, leading a young horse they had just purchased, behind their buggy. When near the corner of Clark and Forest streets the horse they were leading took fright at a passing automobile and reared up at the back of the buggy. Mrs. Nichols was struck by Its hoof just below the shoulder blade and the impact knocked her from the buggy beneath the horses feet. She was struck several times while lying prostrate on the ground. The horse finally broke loose and ran as far as Omar Morlan’s and was caught by Mr. Morlan. Mrs. Nichols was taken to her home at once and an examination revealed no broken bones, therefore no serious results are anticipated.
