AN EXCITING BOLT
Mr J. Graham’s experiences these holidays, although exciting can hardly be called pleasant, for on Saturday evening he was associated with another cart accident: this time his own spring trap being the recipient of the damage. It seems that the cart and horse were standing in the yard at the back of the Queen Street store when from some unknown cause the steed took fright and galloped out into the street where it was captured by some men. In its brief career it smashed the gate posts, capsized and damaged the cart and generally caused destruction. Mr Graham is quite at a loss to account for the bolt. The horse, which is a grey one. is well known as an exceptionally quiet and good animal, and it must indeed have been something especially alarming to have startled it.
