RUNAWAY. On Thursday last Mrs. Turn
ball. accompanied by her little grandson Jim
ME, and Ella Stoughton, were riding in
McConnell's buggy, when the horse spied
that mule of Harris's stretched out across
the street, quite as hideous in death as in
life, and being frightened beyond control the
horse started to run away. All the occu-
pants OF the buggy were thrown violently to
the ground by quick turn OF the frightened
horse. Mrs. Turnbull was quite severely
bruised and shaken up, and Jimmie had his
face peeled. Miss Stoughton escaped with
out serious injury.
