Grant Licks Omnibus 

 

Kentucky Post, Saturday, 1 April 1905, page 3

Butter and eggs took a decided drop shortly after noon today at Tenth and Monmouth sts. Newport, when the Grants Lick omnibus turned over. The driver of the three horse team attached to the bus was in R G Moore's grocery when the horses took a fright at a passing electric car. A sharp turn was made and the bus tipped over, throwing a dozen or more cases of eggs and a large amount of butter to the street.

A woman came near being crushed under the vehicle when it fell. There were no passengers in the bus at the time. The horses escaped injury.
