nuisance as the running Of traction engines

Sheriff Fisher and his family were driving
up Central avenue near the railroad, the
horse became frightened at a bicycle and
began backing up, causing the buggy to
run of the road into a ditch, upsetting
the vehicle and throwing the oc-
cupants out upon the ground, the buggy
falling on top of them. The horses then
started to run, dragging the buggy after
them, and before they were caught the We

are frightened by one or the other of these
machines are becoming entirely too fire.
