Quite an exciting runaway occurred on
Church street about o'clock yesterday
evening. IN which, though the parties re-
Ceived several painful bruises. no bones
were broken. Mr.. Porter was driving down
Church street with Miss Mamie Hutter,
with o double team, and when nearing
the corner Of Eleventh street he saw
horse hitched to a dray rushing
madly down the hull. Seeing the dan
ger that threatened and knowing that
a collision was inevitable Mr. Porter
dashed his horses 10 clear the corner before
the dray should strike their vehicle. This
action probably saved their lives. for the
wagon struck the rear wheel and tilted the
buggy so as 20 enable the frightened Occu-
pants 10 be thrown out. Dr. William L.

hurt taking her up and carrying her IN,
where every attention was shown her.
Though badly shaken uD and frightened
neither the lady nor gentleman sustained
MY serious injury. but their escape was
almost miraculous.
