ORANGE COUNTY.
A Desperate Runaway of Four Horse
Team-Notes.

SANTA ANA, Dec. 7.-Santa Ana was
the scene of desperate runaway today.
The Olive mills delivers -four in a very
large wagon drawn by four powerful
horses. Today at p. m. this team be-
came frightened at q train at the Santa
Fe depot and dashed down Fourth
street, throwing the driver from his
seat The two leaders broke loose from
the wagon and ran in different direc-
tions. The two wheel horses, at break
neck speed carried the wagon right into
thhe heart of the city, but opposite the
court house block turned to the right,
leaving the street and running directly
into the midst of a collection of wagons
and buggies standing at the hitching
rack in the vacant lots opposite the court
house. There was but one vacant spot
on the rack, which, by the merest acci-
dent, was in direct line with the course
of the runaways. They passed through
this space, tearing down the heavy posts
and rails as though they were mere rail-
ings, but fortunately this checked their
speed sufficiently to permit bystanders
to stop them and bring them under con-
troll No serious damage was sustained
by the driver, and strange to say, the
animals show no signs of injury.
