of candidate for the prize vote on bal

Carroll, one of Sandy Hooks fair daugh-
tiers. In Tuesdays journal, she was

Undertaken Wilson's team INDUCED in
runaway, Tuesday. but escaped with
surprisingly little injury. Mr. Wilson
had driven into the yard in front of G.. Ii.
Gays and had turned around to depart
when called into the shop. The road
roller was standing on the oppo lite side
Of the road, quiet. While Mr. Wilson
was in the shop, his horses started for
ward and the wagon rumbled over a
quantity of rubbish, increasing their
nervousness. Swerving to the left, they
found themselves In Il corner, confronted
by Thomas Reilly's stone fence. Start
led by the breaking of rail, they sprang
over and then ran along inside the fence
until n barb wire fence was reached.
The end Of the pole caught in this as they
sprang to clear il and the wires parted
with reports like pistol shots. The
horses, now thoroughly frightened, dash
ed toward the creamery, leaping wide
ditch and bringing the wheels of the
wagon against the opposite bank with a
terrific crash, breaking the reach and
bending the forward axle like crescent.
The lines, catching on n hub, drew the
horses back almost upon their launches
and stopped them, with only u scratch or
two. The damage to the wagon was
quickly repaired ut Mr. Gays.
