They were coming to town in a single buggy and Mr. Clymer was driving. When in front of Teale's garage, a motorcycle came out on the street and frightened the horse which upset the buggy and threw them all out, all three receiving painful bruises. The buggy was considerably damaged. The horse ran up the street and stopped at the M. E. church. Transcriber's Note: Smart horse - knew exactly where to go when confronted by a frightful demon.
