It was an on street
incident, June 8, 1915, that was called
an accident but, actually, was caused by someone’s behavior :
“A serious accident
happened yesterday morning , just a few minutes to twelve o’clock, when a horse
belonging to A. G. Lord bolted, at the corner of King and Locke streets, and,
in an endeavor to stop the animal, the owner was badly hurt.
“Mr. Lord, who
conducts a dairy business, and whose address is Chedoke P.O., was delivering
milk as usual when a boy threw a stone, which struck the horse, causing it to
bolt up the street. It was finally stopped, but not before the wagon had been
badly smashed.
“The horse escaped
unhurt, but it is feared that thedriver has sustained a broken rib.”1
