HORSE JUMPS INTO AUTOMOBILE
PARTIES OCCUPYING CAR HAVE A MOST REMARKABLE ESCAPE

  Last Saturday evening at about 9 o'clock, while returning home, from Joseph Karl's place west of Kewaskum, Herman Krueger and two daughters, who reside east of this village, met with an accident which might have proven fatal, but for the intervention of fate which let them off with only a few bruises for Mr. Krueger. As they were nearing the farm of Louis Dorns, the front axle of the buggy in which they were riding broke, searing the horse and causing him to run away.
   The occupants of the buggy were thrown to the ground and the horse breaking away from the vehicle, made a mad dash for the village of Kewaskum.
   After passing through that village he ran down the Fond du Lac road as far as the hill south of the village, where he turned onto the Wayne road. Here he encountered a Ford runabout which was being driven by Clemens Reiders of the town of Barton. Mr. Reinders and lady friend were on their way to Kewaskum to attend a dance, and before the driver of the car could turn out of the way, the horse in his mad rush, made straight for the machine, going over the radiator, through the windshield and straight into the laps of the occupants of the auto.
   In doing this the horse broke his leg and afterwards had to be shot by Marshall Brandt of Kewaskum, who was immediately called to the scene of the accident. The occupants of the auto escaped with slight injuries. The horse was a valuable animal and will mean quite a loss to Mr. Krueger, who is manager of J. B. Day's farm near this village. The auto belonging to Mr. Beinders, is also badly wrecked. Taking everything into consideration, it was a most remarkable escape from serious injuries for the parties concerned.
