SMASH UP.-Our citizens on Main street
yesterday morning were enabled to witness
pair of horses jerk wagon down the
street with such rapidity that it would take
telegraph message to duplicate it. The
team belonged to farmer by the name
of Ottaway, who lives on the Fry farm
some four or five miles fl ON the city, and
had been driven to town with load of
wheat. The team started from CheadIe's
warehouse on Broadalbin street, and fol-
lowing up that till they reached Main, turn
ing down Main they continued their reckless
career with amazing rapidity, not caring
the least in what way and manner or order
they went. After travelling about one block
Oh this street the bed of the wagon came
OFF up side down and damaged considerably.
Over bridges and gullies they went without
let or hindrance, until they reached the
oak grlbs i'll the lower end of town. when |
the reach pole broke and the hind wheels |
refused to follow any farther at such |
break-neck pace, and quietly took refuge |
IN the top of an oak grub that haDDened TO |
be near by; the team went on until they |
run afoul of grub No. 2. This time they /
parted the double-tree and left the fore
wheels resting beneath the shade of the |
friendly grub; the horses went but short
distance farther when they became en-
tangled IN the brush and came to a halt, I
and were captured by the driver. The
horses sustained but very little damage,
and outside of few patches of skin
scratched off they were not hurt, but we |
cannot say SO much for the wagon. for it |

made no attempt to stop them by yelling
