The horse tore into town, along Depot street to Church, and when near the Methodist church it broke loose from the carriage and ran a short distance further when it was stopped; the carriage went backward down Bank street a little way and then tipped over, throwing the little girl out, but not injuring her at all. [Another account says that Mr. Jones came running along expecting to find the little one thrown out and hurt and was greatly surprised and overjoyed to find it in the buggy, unharmed, after its exciting ride of more than a mile in the dark.]

Forest City - James Zeiganfance, one of the workmen on the new breaker, fell about 50 ft. this morning and received injuries that may prove fatal. He was what is known as a block rider and hundreds of people have watched him make the dangerous ascent to the top of the huge building with heavy timbers, which he would, by use of his own weight as ballast, swing into position. This morning he was being hoisted with a big wheel and when he was raised about 50 ft. the weight tipped the heavy planks to which the tackle was attached and Mr. Zeiganfance dropped to the ground with terrible velocity. He received injuries about the head and was rendered unconscious by the shock. Dr. Dwyer rendered what aid he could and this afternoon he was taken to the hospital.
