Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898.
Finding that he could not get through the fence the horse suddenly wheeled and ran towards Mr. Abbott's horse. The horse acted as if mad.
Mr. Rill was thrown out and the buggy was smashed to pieces. Mr. Abbott turned his buggy aside to render aid, when Mr. Rill's horse bore down upon Mr. Abbott's horse and buggy.
It was a trying moment for him, as his own horse became frightened and began to jump. The loose horse dashed by, however, barely grazing him, but part of the trapping struck him, injuring the lower part of his right leg.
When Mr. Rill's buggy was demolished he was thrown a considerable distance, and for this reason was uninjured, except being shaken up to a great extent.
