HORSE RAN AWAY
----------
A runaway that might
have been of some consequence happened about 7 o'clock this morning when one of
the large horses belonging to John Brills, local
representative of the Moerlein Brewing Co., became frightened and
ran away. He was standing by the side of a car where empty beer kegs were
being loaded from a wagon into the car. All at once the horse started down
Noble street on a dead run. Part of the time he chose the sidewalk, part
of the time he selected the parking space as he desired. He ran on Noble
to Broadway and turned west, scattering beer kegs at every jump. Some boys
stopped his run as he was passing the Catholic church. People who saw the
accident say that it was fortunate that no children were playing along the
street at the time.
