Last Monday morning while Mr.. G P

past the Pest Office, his team, one of
his horses being somewhat young and
lively, became frightened at the Chinese
house opposite, and ran towards the
Court House. When opposite the pub
lie square they turned towards the left,
running on the sidewalk. causing q
jolt which threw Mr. RAIDER five or ten
feet in the air. On coming down he
struck on the bottom of the wagon on
his right hand and face, causing q

Notwithstanding this he clung to the
lines and succeeded in turning the
