The entertainment for the benefit Of
the band last Friday evening drew a

A lively runaway Saturday after
noon was the exciting event Of the
day. Eben Barnes came to the vii |
lage with a span of horses hitched to
a cart and left them in front of Strong's |
store in charge of small boy, Elmer
Crowell. The horses became frighten-
ed at hay rack and started off, the
boy sitting in the cart and holding on
for dear life. They kept up 2.40
gait until they reached the printing
office, where they left the cart and
bounded over Enos Sherwin's front
fence, taking good portion with them
There they stumbled and came to a
sudden stop. The only damage was
demoralized fence and slight break
in the cart. 1t was fortunate run
away, as everybody who saw it ex-
pected the boy would be hurt-but
luckily he escaped injury.
