J. D. N. Osborne, the music dealer, had a runaway Thursday morning which might have laid him up with a broken leg. Bradley’s truck was backing up in front of the store to unload an organ when it careened to one side, scaring the horse, which immediately ran, throwing Mr. Osborne off, the bird wheel of the wagon running over his right leg. Fortunately, no bones were broken, but he will be confined to his bed several days. The horse ran down Fourth street, where it collided with a tree, smashing the organ to splinters.
