REGIMENT HORSEMAN INJURED

M. J. Savage '19 Suffered Concussion When Thrown.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Minot Justin Savage '19, of Cambridge, was thrown from his horse while with the Regiment yesterday and suffered concussion of the brain and severe cuts around the face. He was taken to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, where he was reported resting comfortably at a late hour last night. His name had not been placed on the dangerous list.

Savage had volunteered to take Captain Cordier's charge from the Commonwealth Armory to Forest Hills. Soon after leaving the armory the horse broke into a dead run, the rest of the party not realizing, however, that Savage's mount was running away until he was several blocks distant. Near the corner of Brookline street a trolley car is alleged to have struck the horse, killing the animal instantly and throwing the rider to the ground. The latter was immediately conveyed to a nearby firehouse, where first aid was administered and an ambulance telephoned for, which took him to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital near the Medical School.
