AN EXCITING EPISODE
A Runaway Team Creates Consterna-

An exciting runaway was witnessed

started at a mad pace down the street 10

and when the team started the driver was
standing between the horses. He escaped
unhurt, tried TO seize the lines but failed
In the attempt, and away the team went,
leaving a cloud Of dust In their wake.

truly drunken fashion, at last struck the

sidewalk. Down IL they darted, tearing
