AN EXCITED NAN.

About II O'Clock last night a man came
rushing into the police station awfuiiy
excited. He said that he lived IN Alamo
addition, that he was down town with his
wife, that she drove home and he took the
street car, that when he arrived home he
found his horse and buggy there but not
the wife and he was afraid that she was
thrown out of the buggy and killed. He
wanted Officer Sutton or Wood to help
him to find her and as they were not at the
station he rushed away in search of them.
He was asked his name, but was too ex-
cited to tell it. Soon after Officer Sutton
arrived at the station and heard OF the
affair, but as he had no name or further
particulars to go by he could not take any
immediate action. The result was that the
man was hunting for Mr. Sutton and the
latter was hunting for an excited man, and
in this way halt an hour Or more passed.
Finally Mr.. Sutton ascertained that the
man was Ed Davis and both of them start
ed oct to search for Mrs. Davis. and after
an hour or SO found her at home. With
the exception of few slight bruises she
was all right. Up on North Main some
where her horse became frightened at a
street car and became fidgety. She jump
ed from the buggy and let him go. and in
doing so was bruised little. She went
into Il house near by, telephoned for
hack and arrived home soon after her hus-
band excitedly rode down town looking
for her. For time it looked very serious,
but the ending was very happy.

GOING TO TIE STRIP.

During the past few days immigrant
travel toward the strip has increased
wonderfully. One business man on West
Douglas avenue yesterday said that he
counted thirteen immigrant wagons that
had passed between 10 and II o'clock, and
estimates that as many more passed in
the afternoon. Farmers south OF town
report that dozens passed their homes
every day this week. They are generally
going towards Caldwell or HunneweIl and
it is probable that the greatest rush of
wagon boomers will be from these points
as we'll as Bluff City and K,owa.
