A RUNAWAY.

A horse and buggy belonging to Mr.. Ed
W. Smyth, of COS South Topeka, ran away
last night with his wife and child and if it
had not been for the boys of No. 2 hose
a serious accident would probably have re-
suited. The horse in some way got the
end of the shaft caught in the rein and be
gan to plunge, whereupon Mr.. Smythe
jumped out and went to his head The
horse sprung against Mr.. Smythe, knock
ing him down and hurting his hand quite
badly, then started TO run north on To
peka. Several Intellectual efforts were
made to stop him which only increased
his speed and the danger TO the lady and
child. No. was out exercising
with the truck and were just in
front of the opera house when they saw
the runaway. Taking in the situation at
a glance they Immediately put their truck
across the street completely biockading il.
This obstruction made the horse slacken
his speed and Mr.. Baldwin who YVES at the
tiler sprung down and caught the fright
ened animal by the head. Mrs. Smythe
was very badly frightened but neither she
nor the child were hurt in the least and the
only damage to the team was a broken
shaft. II was afterwards learned that Mr.
Smythe was not seriously hurt either.

a twelve-ounce peach from George Bennett
and bag of beauties measuring from ten
70 twelve inches in circumference each
from the orchard of S. H. Hoover. Yes
terday morning E. S. Aldrich brought to
our office basket of Late Crawfords
which equalled anything in the peach line
that we have seen this year. The product
