TWO RIBS BROKEN.
A Frightful Runaway Accident
Early This Morning.
Shortly after 6 o’clock this
morning a horse attached to a
milk cart started to run away on
Nueva street. As the animal
reached the corner of Nueva and
South Laredo street he ran into a
milk wagon owned by Jesse Yan-
tis the well known dairyman
living near West End. Mr. Yantis
who was in the vehicle at the time
was thrown violently to the
ground and received several se-
rious injuries. Two of his ribs on
the left side were broken.
As soon as the accident occurred
medical aid was summoned and
after the injured man was cared
for he was taken to his home. The
accident will cause Mr. Yantis’
confinement to his room for some
time to come.
Both milk conveyances were
totally wrecked and one of the
horses was hurt but not seriously.
