caped with a number of painful injur-
IOI. lie was taken to the Central Ho-
'tel by Mr. Disosa, where Dr. If. M.
Wolfe attended to his injuries. The
latter consisted of various bruises and
occlusions, the. worst apparently being
about his shoulders and ribs. ’
Betta had been sent to Discsn's
home be got the horse, and was just
drlvi gup to the hotel when the lini-
mal ccame frisky and started'to run.
Buffs. managed to get the horse prac-
tically antler control in Monroe street,
when a train happened along, and the
runaway started afresh. The horse
went through Mechanic. Wood and oth-
er thoroughfares at breakneck speed.
and it was on the second round
through Chestnut. strtmt, when after
he had piuekily held the ielristhrough
all of the other part of his perilous
journey that the driver was tossed
out. . -
Disesa's little son, John, was in the
wagon at the start of the trip from the
‘ burn. but he succeeded in jumping out
when the horse slowed down in Mon»
roe street.

lead to the determination that, acute

no aid In identifying any particular

that of Andrew lielgclit-tn.
'i‘he finality of these conclusions
leaves few major matters which are
capable of solution to be brought to

The state insists that it has positive

The widespread interest which the

by the amount of press matter that
