About 7.30 o’clock last evening in Belvedere Street, a horse attached to a hay rake bolted. Mr Victor Goodin, son of Mrs H. Goodin, Park Road, had been raking hay on Mr Jackson’s property, Connolly’s Line, and was returning to his home when the swingle bar attached to the rake gave way at one end hitting the horse on the legs and caused him to bolt. The driver was thrown heavily on to the road, suffering injury to his head and one ankle. Mr Alf Archer, who saw the occurrence, took the injured man to Dr. Morton, who dressed his wounds and afterwards took him to his home. The horse galloped all the way home. Salvation Army Concert.
