The escape OF T. j. Atwell'a team FROM

Friday wRs aimoat miraculous. Atwell
who serves milk IN town, had q colt
I hitched to bis milk wagon that morning,
which he left standing on Third street in
front Of the Republican office in charge
, of small boy. Some escaping steam
from the Republican building scared the
! high.epirited animal which started off
down THIRD atreet as though pursued by
the furies.
The little boy was inside the wagon,
but was frightened and helpless. The
horse ran at the top of his speed while
the loaded milk wagon swayed from side
to side on the rough cobhle-stonea
threatening to overSurn at every second.
Down the steep grade between Walnut
and Poplar streets he rushed aud was
never stopped until beyond Third street
bridge. A train had bast crossed the
Third street csossing, and tho gateman
just had tune to open the 9gte1 when the
runaway dashed past. Strange to relsts,
the boy was not much hurt, snd the only
apparent damage was the spilliug Of a
can or two OF milk, and the breaking OF
one axle on the wagon.
