DeMotte Doctor Has a Run - away.

Dr. Claire Rice, the DeMotte doctor, was tangled up in a quite serious runaway Wednesday afternoon. He was driving to Hebron to make a professional call and when near that town his horse became frightened at a steam roller that was being operated on some newly constructed gravel road, and started to run at full speed. The doctor was thrown out and considerably bruised up, • suffering a slight sprain to his back. He was able Thursday morning to be around attending to calls. The buggy was completely demolished and the horse was caught in Hebron.
