 Quite an exciting runaway occurred,
 last Friday, about noon, at the lower end
 of Grassy Plain street, ill front of Theo
 Braunies's house. Some boys were
 stealing ride on load of baled hay be- longing to Zalmon Pillow of Umpawaug hill and, either accidently or out of pure deviltry, pin which held the rope that bound on the hay was unfastened and, ln consequence, bale of hay fell in front, knocking MT Pillow off. In falling, he in some way caught the pole. of the Wag- on, preventing him from falling beneath the horses feet. This startled the horses and they ran up the street, throwing off several of the bales as they ran. They turned the corner into South street and when in front of the Willows shop, MT Pillow gained control and stopped them. Beyond the breaking of the harness, no damage was done. It has not as yet been learned who the boys were.
 Sunday evening about G., a young man in a carriage passed horse car just be- fore it reached the place where the hill horse was standing waiting to help draw the car up the hill. The young man urged his horse forward in order to pass in between the hill horse and the car, but his carriage slipped on the ice and struck the hill horse on the flank. This startled both horses and they ran about half way up the hill, when the hill horse fell down, out the young man. Although he was not injured, his carriage was wreck and the hill horse was badly cut and bruised.
