RUNAwAY-Ths horses hitched to
Glissan's milk wagon, driven by his boy
Johnny, took fright Thursday morning
in front OF Eisenmann's store, starting
on run down Main street, the boy do
ing his best to hold them in. He was not
successful, however, as they continued
on their course down until they reached
the vicinity of Curtis corral, when the
neck-yoke slipped off the tongue, causing
it to drag till it struck Craw's house, the
pole going through the side OF the build
ing into the house, the horses parting at
the time and getting out of the way be-
fore the body of the wagon struck the
building with full force, escaping unhurt.
The little boy retained his seat and held
on to the reins to the last, and strange
as it may appear, escaped uninjured.
No damage was sustained by either
horses or wagon.
A HoT PoKER,-A row occurred in the
kitchen of one OF our restaurants the
other day between the Chinese cook
and an American colored citizen. The
coiored gentleman used some naughty
words, insinuating that the Cinaman was
the son OF q female canine, whereat the
irate Celestial hit the gentleman of color
over the jaw with red-hot poker. The
poker caused an abrasion OF the skin,
which is not yet healed, so it is impos-
slble at present to say whether the scar
will denote the width or length of the
poker.

and Frank Wheeler (black) resided for
years at Austin, Hamilton and other
points in the Great East. They were
dubbed red and black respectively as a

singular circumstance that both are en-
gagged in the hardware business; one in

Frank has lately associated himself with
