Last evening, little after seven, horse
attached to cutter, standing in front of
Masonic hall, unhitched, started to make
things lively, ''when the band began to
play" He dashed down Wabashaw to
Third, and at first made as if he was to take
the bridge to cross the river, but making a
swoop around the electric staff he dashed
west on Third street. Several tried to stop
his career, but the music was so enlivening
that he, at each loud blast, accelerated his
speed. The owner will no doubt after this,
remember that there is a law as to the expe
diency of hitching horses, as the damage to
his rig will no doubt foot up to a considera-
bre amount.
