     A serious runaway occurred Monday afternoon in which William Coulter, an employee of Mack's dry goods house, was quite painfully injured.
     Coulter was in the rear end of one of Mack's large furniture wagons, which was driven by William Seitz. The horses became frightened at some object in the street and made a mad dash down Main street. Young Seitz bravely held on to the reins and tried to curb the frightened team, but it was to no purpose. At the corner of Kingsley and N. Main streets, Coulter fell out of the wagon, badly hurting one of his shoulders and receiving a gash in his head. A fire department wagon took him to his home. Young Seitz jumped from the wagon near Summit street and was not injured. The animals were stopped shortly after passing Summit street.
