Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1910 — KNOCKED DOWN BY RUNAWAY HORSE. [ARTICLE]

KNOCKED DOWN BY RUNAWAY HORSE.

The Home Grocery delivery horse, took a notion to run away.

at about 7 a. m., Wednesday, and coming up the street at a lively gait turned at the alley back of the store on Van Rensselaer street. Reece Williams of Shelbyville, 111., who with some other would-be land buyers were walking on the sidewalk near the alley, saw the horse coming but did not know of course that it was going to turn in the alley, and Mr. Williams was knocked down and quite severely injured, one of the shafts striking him in the breast. The shock threw the horse over against the brick building on the north. The injured man was taken to Dr. Merrill’s office and his injuries attended to. No bones were broken, nothing serious will happen if he does not exert himself too much.
