sold his oats to James s. Gilmore, and,
driving his wagon under a shed, tied his
horses, unloaded. and then went into the
Office to get his money. During his alb
sence his horses became frightened, and,
breaking one halter strap and pulling out
one staple they started to run--out of the
shed, down the alley to 10th street, up
10th street to Seventh avenue. Here
they struck the sign of Philebar's saloon,
breaking it badly,-went across the street,
and taking the sidewalk on the south side
of Seventh avenue ran west. At the
corner of l42 street and Seventh avenue,
in front of VIM. Rinck's grocery store,
stood two four-year old boys, one son ol
Gus. Miller, and the other, Henry, son Of
Mr.. Rinck. The little fellows were prob.
ably to badly frightened or Edid not have
time to get out of the way-for the mex

them. Mr.. Miller's boy escaped withou
injury, but Mr.. 'Rinck's boy was knocked
senseless, an ugly cash or hole was cut il
the head, penetrating through the skull
just above and behind the right ear; hi
lower lip was badly cut; the end of th'

as to whether or not he will recover, bu
the chances are against him.

There is no concern in the western coun
try that sustains better reputation for
first class work than the Moline Wagon
Co. The goods made by this concern
have steadily grown in favor, and the trade
of the firm increased until now it stands
foremost in its line in the northwest. 1t
has been the aim of the company to make
only such work az would stand the test
anywhere; thus the goods have, 80 to speak,
rested on their merits, and now, as re-
suit, the wagon is pronounced the best il
the western states. Close attention to
business and the wants of customers has
conduced in great measure to the success
of the company, aud built up reputation
of which it may justly feel proud. The
trade of the Moline Wagon Company is
not merely local but extends all over the
country. The ARGUS is pleased to note
the substantial growth of this reliable firm,
whose success is the more gratifying be-
cause achieved strictly on meritorious
grounds. The attention of our readers is
