Lively Runaway.

There was an exciting runaway in East
Dallas, on Elm street, Monday, of a pair of
horses attached to wagon. A fine looking
hound tied to the vehicle had to run for dear
life to keep from being choked TO death with
the rope that bound his neck. The team
was stopped in front of Dysterbach's store,
when the dog, which had done such splendid
running, fell down completely exhausted
Ice water was poured on it by some of the
bystanders, which resusctatei it.
