    1. 1886 Rutland News.
    2. Source, Rutland Daily Herald--July 27,1886. A RUNAWAY ON EVELYN STREET. A span of horses owned by Griggs Kelley of Clarendon Springs, attached to a wagon loaded with boards and shingles, ran away on Evelyn street yesterday afternoon, but did not do very much damage. Mr. Kelley left the team near Keyes's store about 4:30 o'clock without hitching the horses and some paper thrown out of the windows above by children frightened the animals. They started down the street at a lively gait across West street and ran into the fence in front of the Methodist parsonage. One of the horses jumped it, while the other broke down a part of it and cut badly one of his knees. The harness was broken some, but no other damage was done. While the runaway team was passing through Evelyn street, the horse attached to the delivery wagon of Deffy & Clifford ran. He went over the railroad crossing and around the square, back to the store without doing any damage.
