A runaway took place on last Saturday after
noon which might have proved serious matter
but for the prompt action of Marshal Maher.
Geo. Ford, Of one of our northern towns, had
two teams on south La Sale street. One he
drove; the other was originally IN charge OF a
man, but as the man had disappeared young
boy had been put in charge. The boys team
started to run, whereupon the father left his, and
while engaged in stopping the boys his own got
away. They came swiftly up La Sale, and soon
getting rid of the box at Stieies corner, started
on, making directly for the west side of La Sale
st. where opposite SCOTS were a lady and child
in q buggy. As the team reached the crossing,
however, Marshal Maher struck one horse on the
head with his heavy cane. Both horses fell on
the walk, sliding onto the side walk in front OF
the bank. No one was hurt, and the team was
soon on the way home.

taken off his clothing, except his pantaloens, to
battle in what had until lately been shallow wa.
ter But during the spring the main channel for
boats had been cut close to the west bank, so
that the lad in step or two from the bank was
precipitated into deep water. The children near
him on the bank could render him no assistance,

We have no doubt that Conkling and
