AS we were going to press last Thurs
day evening Mr.. and Mrs. Geroux start
ed from the Geroux House down Rolette
street for drive. The horses took it in
their heads to have run and away they

ing the reins they were brought down to
slower gait and finally stopped. For
tunately they kept Il straight course. and
the road being smooth, no accident re-
suited. But Mrs. Geroux will take NO
more chances after eucl, horses it she
