BUS HORSE STRUCK

By Speeding Auto and Runaway Results Saturday Afternoon. "L Lyman Raymond of Jordan tp., m his Cadillac automobile, struck one of Kresler’s bus horses driven by Billy Frey and caused a runaway Saturday afternoon that might have had disastrous consequences had not Billy stuck gamely to his post. V He was hauling Fathers Gerard from St. Joseph’s college to the depot, and while rounding the curve on the college road Raymond came up unannounced from the rear and attempted to pass without giving a share of the road, it Is alleged, and before Billy could turn out, the fender on the rear wheel of the machine scraped his horse’s side and frightened it almost beyond control. The team started to run and the passengers inside were bounced from one side of the bus to the other until they reached the Washington street bridge, where the horses were brought to a stop with no serious results.
