SULKY ACCIDENT - An accident occurred on Monday which fortunately was not attended with any serious results. A young man named Joe Hinchcliffe was driving a horse and sulky out of Mr. G. Turner's gateway, when the horse got too much pace up. The driver in order to escape the fence on opposite side of the road suddenly swerved the animal, with the result that one of the wheels came off. All the occupants, Hinchliffe being accompanied by Misses I. Turner and Allen, were thrown out, but luckily escaped injury. The horse then galloped across the intersection of Evans and Campbell Streets and jumped the Swamp Reserve fence. The harness breaking, freed the horse and the sulky was left on the outside. The only other damage was done to the fence, the top rail being broken. The horse (which, with the sulky, is owned by Mr. G. Turner, jun.) escaped without a scratch.
