HORSES COLLIDE
And One Runaway Quickly Generates a Second

What might have been a serious smashup occurred last evening at Knickrehm's store at the corner of Fourth and Pine streets. Paul Walters, residing east of St. Libory came to the city yesterday in a sled and was about to leave from the Union Pacific depot with four people in his rig for home. In some manner the tongue of the sleigh became unfastened and with this the horses dashed on and at Knickrehm's corner dashed into a team of Adolph Glesenhagen. The latter's team then started off and was not stopped until it was within a few yards of plunging through a plate glass window of a store near by. The team of Mr. Walters dashed on farther and at a later hour one of the horses was caught but the other was still at large.
