RUSAwAYs.-0n Friday morning of last
week as horse, with carriage belonging to Mr..
Sterling Gait, of Taneytown, was being driven
through the College campus at Gettysburg by
one of the DIR. Valentines sons, the horse
took fright and ran. He was stopped at the
gate, but not until he had thrown the boy
and his little sister out and completely de-
molished the vehicle.
A horse owned by Messrs. Thompson &
Robinson escaped from their hostler on Tues
day afternoon, and dashed down Main street,
at high rate of speed. In attempting to turn,
the vehicle to which the horse was attached
struck tree. There was no damage done,
however, other than the breaking of a trace.

came frightened and Mr.. Grouse jumped from
the buggy to hold him, though he succeeded
in getting away from Mr.. c. and ran against
a bank near by, upsetting the buggy, throw
ing Miss Shriner out, and tearing the top off.
The horse continued to run a few hundred
yards up the road, when he was caught, and
brought back. The parties fortunately eseap.
ed without any serious injury.
