Disastrous Runaway

Yesterday afternoon the horses
hitched to J. S. Poythress' wagon
standing at his coal yard, took fright
at train and ran away. They came
up Main street at a rapid rate and ran
into the carriage of DR.. &. L. Nc
Cracker in which Mrs. McCraeken and
Miss BERTHE Wycoff were seated at the
time. The vehicle was completely
wreckedeven to the seat being broken
to pieces, but the ladies miraculously
escaped with only a few bruises and a
severe Shock to their nervous system.
Persons who ran TO their assistance eX-
pected to find both dead or seriously
injured. Continuing their wild course
the runaway team next struck the
phpton of Mr.. J. S. Burwell overturn-
ing same and bending an axle and
breaking the cross bar, sc. The horse
was standing tied and no one was in
the vehicle at the time. Further down
the street they ran into another vehicle
but inflicted little damage. Then with
one or two others just ahead Of the
runaways it was race for life to get
out of the way. The team was finally
stopped near the Oxford depot and the
excitement and danger incident to the
runaway was at ali end.
That 10 one was killed seems provl-
Dental. The damage done in demol-
ished vehicles and badly frightened anC
shocked persons is as nothing compared
with the loss Of life that might have
been the result. But it was such an
experience as those most intimately
concerned hope never to pass through
again. And in this their friends heart
lily join.
