IKE GLAZEBROOK INJURED IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.

“Happy New- Year,” Ike Glazebrook’s fast trotting colt, ran away with her ownir Saturday noon, throwing Ike from the cart and dragging him for several blocks on the back of his head and shoulders. The colt started near Lou Harmon’s residence on the corner of Weston and Harrison streets, and ran east on Harrison street until she reached Geo. Ulm’s where she ran over a brick crossing and curb stone into Ulm’s grape arbor and stood quietly until help reached her driver. Ike was dragged almost the entire distance, his foot having caught between the basket foot rest and the shaft, and when he was cut loose from the cart by Harry Wiltshire and Phillip Blue, he was unconscious and bleeding profusely from a long gash on the back of his head which took three stitches by his physician to close. He remained in a semi-stupor until late Saturday afternoon, when he rallied enough to" be taken to his home from George Ulm’s where his rescurers had carried him. Mr. Glazebrook’s injuries will lay him up for several weeks, and it was first thought that his skull had been fractured, but an examination by two physicians revealed no such break and his recovery is assured. The horse suffered no damages and but one shaft in the cart was broken. The colt is well broken and had it not been for the fact that Ike struck her a smart blow with the whip when Lou Harmon playfully attempted to stop her, it is probable the accident never would have happened.
