IKE GLAZEBROOK IS BADLY INJURED.

'■ « ’ His Little Racing Mare, “Happy New Year,** Runs Away, Dragging Him Behind the Sulky. Isaac Glazebrook, the well known former blacksmith and owner of Happy New Year, the little racing..-filly sired by the great Dan Patch, was seriously if not fatally injured at noon today. - . He had been exercising the filly at ; the stock farm, in company with Harry Kelley, of Parr. Kelley had just returned from Peoria, 111., and had been drinking heavily and brought a large supply along with him. It is probable that Isaac, who seldom drank, had. participated of the bottled goods fresh from Peoria, for Hie mare that he was* driving had always been perfectly gentle. He had returned from the stock farm and when near the Makeever Hotel he was seen to strike the mare violently, causing it to lunge forward and run. He repeated the performance and several who saw his actions realized that he was not rational. The filly ran toward the barn Mr. Glazebrook used, at the rear of the Philip Blue residence on Pine street. The mare did not seen frightened and even came down to a trot before he fell from the seat. He may have started to climb out of the stilky at the barn; at any rate it was about at that point that he fell from the seat. The horse started to run at this point and the owner was dragged for just about a block, first along the macadamized road, over a brick crossing, over the curbing at the side of the residence of George Ulm, then over the sidewalk, through the yard and the horse came to a halt by the side of the grape arbor in the rear of Mr. Ulm’s yard. Two or three men hastened to the scene, and to all appearances Glazebrook was dead. His left leg was between the shaft oh the right side of the sulky and the seat and his foot was fastened under the foot rest, while his right leg was outside the shaft and next to the wheel and his body had fallen backward over the axle until his head dragged oh the ground. It was necessary to cut a strap that supported the foot rest In order to release him. This was speedily done and he was carried into the Ulm home and medical aid summoned. It was found that he was vary badly bruised up." The back of the head was especially bruised and the skull probably crushed, while there Were numerous cuts about the fade. His hands were also cut and probably bones broken, but his legs and arms seemed uninjured. He was atlll unconscious at 2:80 o’clock and another doctor had been called in consultation, and a more complete examination of his Injuries was made. It was reported later that he was about to regain consciousness and that his Injuries would probably not prove fatal. The mare was uninjured and the cart had suffered nd worse damage than a broken shaft Kelley, the Parr man who had the Pebrla booze, also had trouble, his horse having smashed up his buggy by a kicking fit while at the stock farm.
