A couple OF rafting runaways oc'
cured yesterday. In the morning a
couple of horses In harness dashed
frantically along Main street towards
the Central road, being joined part of
the way by II loose saddle animal.
They were stopped in front of Orr's
livery stable. In the afternoon, while
Mr.. Mitchell was standing Oh the
ground holding country team, with
wagon attached, in front OF his store,
corner Of Market and Main, they sud
denly started at rapid pace towards
the river, turned into court.square,
running along the south side, with the
tongue, which had become detached,
blowing In the dust. In front Of the
Dallas Touring mills warerooms the
tongue struck the scales, and the
wagon gave a terrific jump, throwing
off the wagon bed, turning 1t upside
down, and splitting the contents in the
gutter. The horses were not injured,
and the wagon but little. The owner
soon had the team hitebed up again,
and drove across the bridge home.
