Horse Ran Away and Broke Shoulder Bone.

Mrs. John Rush and another lady were in a runaway Wednesday evening. Their horse took fright at Hanson’s automobile and ran north on Cullen street. The horse was blind and at Milt Roth’s residence it ran into a telephone pole. The buggy was demolished and the women were thrown out, receiving slight bruises. The horse’s shoulder blade was broken and it laid in the street until night, when Mr. Rush came to town and succeeded in getting it home on three legs.
