RUNAWAY
[Welland Tribune, 11 January 1895]
A spirited pair of horses belonging to Thomas Jewell, Crowland, ran away on Division street on Saturday last. Mr. Jewell, who was in the sleigh at the time, was thrown out and severely, but not dangerously, cut about the head. He was carried into Mr. Holder’s residence, where his injuries received attention, when he was taken to his home, to which he was confined for some days by reason of his injuries. The horses continued east along Division st. with one pair of bobs attached. The replanking of the canal bridge had just been completed and the bar taken from across the entrance to it when the runaway team came thundering along and were the first to cross after the re-opening. The men at work on the bridge saw the runaways coming and got out of the way , but they had a good object lesson of the danger, to which the public, and especially children, are exposed by being forced to use the horse road to the cross the canal here-an outrage which government persists on forcing upon the people of this town and vicinity. The team fortunately were not injured, but they were the only part of the rig that escaped without damage.
