near Howard, about II 80 o'clock yesterday
morning, caused by very lively runaway.
A couple of two-horse lumber teams had
been left by their drivers near the entrance
to Mission Wharf, and one of the teams took
notion to do little training, with a view
possibly of competing in the coming double
team race. The big horses started up the
street at a rate that made every one get out of
the way, while the second team, not to be out
done, followed as fast as they could travel.
The runaways did not go more than block
and half, however, before the leading team
colided with a pile Of lumber that brought
Them to standstill, smashing the wagon to
pieces. Before those on the street could lift
hand the second team came tearing along
and ran into the wreck with a crash that
could be heard three blocks Ready hands
caught the four horses before they could
continue the race, and it was then found
that three Of them had escaped without a
scratch. The fourth was not so fortunate,
as besides being badly skinned about the
legs it had large splinter protruding fro IN
its neck.
