Runaway (1879)

Saturday evening as Mr. GARLAND started out of town with his nice pair of horses, they took fright at something and runaway, throwing Mr. GARLAND and Mr. John JOHNSTON out and breaking the buggy.  Mr. JOHNSTON‘s arm was very much hurt, but not broken.  High spirited horses will do three things sometimes, but that does not make it more agreeable.
