seer in the State. He has, during his

RUNAWAY. Jerome Thorington.

folk breed, had an accident happen to
his favorite horse on Sunday afternoon,
which, although not very serious,
tends to show the trials to which poor
humanity is subjected. The colt,

had been taking 4 drive, was tied 10 a
fence at the residence of his master,
when a Chinarnan caIne along driving
some hogs, at which the colt took
alright and broke loose dashing
around town at a fearful rate. The
vehicle was overturned during the
run and was damaged to a certain
tent. The horse sustained no serious
injury, although the shafts of the
sulky created some ugly cuts by com
ing in contact with the horses shOul-
ders during the race.
