"George Oyler, a teamster for the Minglewood Coal Co., met with quite a bad run-away accident last Friday afternoon. He was engaged in unloading coal near the old gas works, then the team became frightened at an incoming train, and before he could get hold of the lines, the horses had upset the wagon, landing him under about half a ton of coal. He was helped from his uncomfortable position and found to be not seriously injured. The wagon was badly broken up, although the animals ran but a short distance before they were halted. This is the second accident that has occurred to Mr. Oyler in a short time."
