THROWN UNDER HORSES
Welland Man Has Exciting Experience on Marshville Road
[Welland Telegraph, 12 December 1911]
Jack Patterson narrowly escaped serious injuries if not death, on Friday night, when returning from Marshville, where he had taken some furniture.
In attempting to pass a rig in the dark, on the feeder road, the team of horses and dray which he was driving, was overturned in a large ditch.
Patterson was thrown beneath the horses where he became entangled in the harness. He was trying to hold the pawing horses when David Hoag who had heard the noise, came to his assistance. The horses and wagon were pulled onto the road and driven home.
Patterson was unhurt except for a few slight bruises.
