                    A HORSE KILLED

                           ---------

       By the Electric Cars on Packard St. Saturday

John Moran, of 1426 Packard st., had his horse killed by a car of the Detroit, Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor road at about 10 o'clock Saturday and had a narrow escape with his life. 
He was drawing ice at the time and started to cross the track on Packard st., when the car came up with great speed and struck the horse killing it instantly.
The horse was thrown one side of the track.
The wagon was not overturned and consequently Mr. Moran, who is a G. A. R. veteran was not himself injured.
He valued the horse at $75.
The scene of the accident was on Packard st., between Eberbach and Nichols property and about 100 rods inside city limits.
The car was running at a much higher rate of speed than the ordinance permits and had such momentum that it could not be stopped until it had  gone from 10 to 15 rods after it had struck the horse.
The motorman says he rang the bell, but Mr. Moran, whose hearing is impaired said he did not hear it. 
He says he looked back before attempting to cross the track but saw no car in sight.
