Walnut Valley Times,  Volume XXXII, #52 January 17, 1902
Frazier's hack team took a short spurt at the Mo. P. depot today, without a 
driver. The reins became caught in a ring on the back band of the harness and 
it was impossible to guide them. They started down Main street, went on the 
sidewalk underneath the awning of L. H. Powell's coal office and ran into the 
lamp post near the Brown Hotel. Driver Bert Greeley tumbled off before the 
awning caught him and the colored potter wasn't fat enough to fill the space 
between the awning and the hack top. Tom Claffe, the genial travelling man and 
a lady with two children were in the hack. No one was injured and no damage 
done beyond mangling a lamp globe and scraping a patch of skin off of one of 
the horses.
