! RUNAWAY
Early in the afternoon, Milchert's "Rat>
tier" broke away from the boy who was lead
ing him about inside the track, and started
at furious rate through the crowd Of meu
and horses and sulkies. He first made q
straight dash against Widow LeClaire' $
carriage horses, causing . little jumping
and no damage. He then made straight
dash through tho crowd, tho men scattering
right and left Our friend, Thomas Scott
! seeing that he could not get out of the way
dropped fiat upon the ground before the
furious animal. The horse made desper
ate leap, and cleared Mr.. Scott-sulky and
all-the wheel Of the latter barely grazing
his left arm. He then made straight dasl
up the home stretch, forty rods, when hC
made dash at the gate, which he took, sulky
and all, without a scratch, and stopped n
the stables. Wonderful enough, no harm
was done to any one, neither did horse ol
sulky get a dangerous scratch. 1t was .
most miraculous escape.
