South Side Runaway.

Yesterday morning a horse attached
to a buggy belonging to DR.. j. ii. Pipes
became scared at some object near the
corner of Wood and Thirty-third street,
and started down Wood street at mad
gait. In attempting to stop the ami
NAL, DR.. Pipes was knocked down by
one wheel, suffering several slight
bruises. At Thirty-Seventh street coun-
try wagon was struck, demolishing the
wheels of the buggy and breaking the
axle of the wagon. The collision also
tore the harness badly, and set the
horse free. The animal did not stop
until Forty-ffth street was reac he'd
and was brought back to the stable by
two small boys.

notes. The discovery was made yester-
day, when the Wicks bank, which held
a note Endorsed by Father McMahon. of

that it had gone to protest. Father
McMahon replied that he had not in

that the Endorsement was forged. Other
notes were then found. Another start

Kearney was the administrator OF the
