YESTERDAYS RUNAwAY.-H. G.. Smiths
horse took its tuln last evening in the genera
runaway tournament Mr.. Smith, accom-.
panied by an employee of the Pioneer Mil
and boy, was out driving in his new two
wheeled chaise, when the horse launched out
regardless of line or bit, taking ] street for
It's course. When just above Sixth street, from
some cause, either from refining or fancy,
the horse made bolt for the sidewalk and
struck the end of one of the shafts against an
awning post in front OF Parsons shoe store,
which had the effect to break out both tugs
and also both shafts near the body of the
chaise. The latter misfortune quickly dem
onstrated that gig has not got much bal
anee left to sit on when the shafts are swept
away without notice, and cannot be depended
upon as to the direction the inmates will
take. In this case the three were pitched
into remarkably small and pronliscuous
heap, mixed up with the horses heels. The
horse, being liberated by the smash-up, and
not liking the pitching about his heels, raa
toward the country, leaving the three with
out serious injury in the gutter, with the
novel vehicle standing on one wheel and not
recognizable by its admiring owner.
