He was driving his team of gray

became frightened while passing in
front Of Uriah Woods residence.
The horses made a dash for liberty
and although Mr.. Mosier is a strong
man physically he was unable to
control the fiery steeds. They fig
uratively few down the street, pass
ed the Citizens bank, swirled around
the town pump, and landed the
wagon tongue plump against the
hitching posts on the Hoffman cor.
ner, breaking the tongue, but other
wise doing no damage. Had the
tongue missed the post by the width
Of a hair one of the horses would
have met his death.

ingly sorry that the blow should
fall 70 heavily upon III competitor,
still in 4 sense he is not to blame.
