Mrs. Lem Hollingsworth’s horse became frightened at a track that was being trundled over the sidewalk, and" broke the halter by which it was secured and started on a run down Ohio street. Before the frightened animal could be secured it made a partial shipwreck of the buggy and harness. It also overturned a young son of Harry Miller’s, who jumped up screaming loudly that he was ' killed.
