I understand that the horse was towing a wagon down North Seventh toward Orange when it bolted.
When it went through the window a few customers, some in the midst of changing ran like hell.
Someone told me that one of Newark's finest shot the horse but The horse just stood up and the surprised cop emptied his 38 into the Horse. What ever it's a great story.
Dr Hosker also visited Joe Boyle's Tavern on occasion and was discussing the day with my dear old Dad who was suffering from a toothache. The Doc had him sit in the phone booth and pulled the tooth after Dad had prepared himself with a little liquid anesthesia that came with the boilermaker he was drinking.
True Story. You can't make this stuff up.
