span Of horses, attached to hesvy wood
wagon, came dashing Down Main street
at . fnrioas sate, and bsosning very aris-
tocratic, attempted 70 get on the side-
walk near the corner OF Third. In this
they were ftiled. The wagon took sheer
and was smashed into numerous pieces,
by coming in contact With the lamp post,
which was also broken into fragments
At this pointa hdy came near being run
over, and was only rescued through the
presence of mind Of by-stander. The
horses becoming sxtricated from portion
Of the running gear came on down the
street, with the fore wheels flying around

turn the corner Of Second street they ran
against another lamp post, demohshing i,
and throwing themselves faton their sides.
Some one captured them before they re-
gained their feet.
We did not learn what started the hor-
ses, but it is suggested by one of our boys,
that perhaps they were frightened at the
high price Of ,eood.
