NARROW ESCAPE

(MRS. SHIRLEY'S) NARROW ESCAPE

What proved to be a most miraculous escape from serious injury was experienced by Mrs. Thomas Shirley, who lives on University avenue, Saturday, shortly before noon. She had just got into her buggy which she had hitched near the Cook house, when a delivery wagon collided with the wheels. Her horse became frightened and ran away, colliding with a covered buggy on its mad course up Fourth avenue. Here it turned up Washington street and was stopped by several men near the store of the Ann Arbor Music Co.

Mrs. Shirley was dragged all this distance, haring been thrown from her seat after the corner of the Cook house was passed. She was unable to extricate herself from the buggy as her left arm was caught in the springs. Aside from a painful bruise on this arm and being badly shaken up in general, Mrs. Shirley was not seriously injured. The buggy was uninjured, but the harness was completely demolished.
