Vance Collins Scratched Up In a Runaway.

Vance Collins’ face looks as if he had just come out of the tail end of a Cyclone thresher, and all because of a little runaway Tues day. (He was driving G. E. Chilseri, an Indianapolis traveling man, over east of town, having one of Duvall’s livery -teams, and When returning the team became frightened near the railroad crossing at Pleasant Ridge, and after running about a quarter of a mile overturned the buggy and threw both men out, Vance landing in a hedge fence. The buggy was dragged on its side for a mile further where the team-was stopped. The rig was not very badly damaged but Vance was considerably scratched and bruised about the face * and head and the traveling man had one eye closed.
