WALLTNG FORD.

1 There was quite a httle excitement on Main street early last evening. Fred Ives was driving his spirited horse down the street and while in front of w. A. Trask's a dog frightened the animal, who shied to one side and started on a jump toward the sidewalk. The car- riage collided with a tree and MT. Ives was thrown out, but luckily struck on his feet and kept control of the horse, which was kicking like football play err A crowd soon collected and an in- ventory of the damage was soon taken. Ives escaped without injury. The horse was somewhat cut on it's legs. The car- riage dash and one wheel were wrecked, and the dog that was responsible for all the trouble had taken a sneak and probably escaped all injury and is ready to start out after some other horse and cause more excitement. Fred displayed good judgment in his actions and kept his head at the right time, or the dam ages might have been more serious.
