Another matched game of base ball is to

| In order to stop the absconding boarder.
sounded the police alarm, which sent Off
Ger Reardon in pursuit. the officer, suppos-
ing he. was chasing M. Church, who it was
said had escaped from the deputy sheriff.
On reaching the bridge the fleeing debtor
was seen putting in his best jumps. To
an order to halt he paid not the least at
| tention, the officer still thinking him to be
the escaped prisoner, drew his revolver
and fired shot before the mistake was dis
| covered. Fortunately no injury was done,
and the dishonest boarder passed on to the
other shore without being further mo-
Tested.
Intense excitement was created here yes
terday afternoon by what at first appeared
to be destructive runaway, caused by the
frightening and consequent running away
of team belonging to Judd Orff, and
driven by Gus Isaacson. The horses were
attached to heavy wagon loaded with
| sawdust, and took fright at the cars while
passing the lower depot. The animals at
once became unmanageable, and started
at full speed up Main street. The driver
held on to the reIns, and managed
to retain his seat on the load until the
Chestnut street crossing was reached, when
he was finally thrown off by the violent
jolting of the wagon, the wheels of which
passed over his PROSTATE body and, ,stran ge
to say, without inficting any injury other
than scalp wound three and a half or
four inches long. What tended in a great
degree to heighten the confusion was the
rapidity with which other teams were
| driven off in order to get clear of the track
of the runaways. Rigs, double and single,
were to be seen hurrying IN all directions.
Aside from the wrecking of the wagon box
no other damage occurred than what has
been stated.
