Runaway,

Saturday evening that might have
proved fatal, but luckily neither
one was hurt much, although con
siderably bruised up. They were
out buggy riding behind Mr.. Lew
is young and spirited horse, and
when descending the hill on the
Clarksburg road, near the X. & M.
junction, the breeching of the har-
ness gave way, running the buggy
up on the horse, which immedi-
ately began kicking and started on
run, and when coming under the
X. & M. trestle, Mr.. Lewis was
jerked out of tho buggy by the
horse and thrown under the wheels,
he carrying the lines with him.
Miss Neale remained in the buggy
without means to control the ami
NAL, which continued on across the
bridge and collided with tele-
phone pole, when it became olsen
gagged, and throwing Miss Neale
out of the buggy with great force.
She was injured in one of her legs
besides being otherwise bruised.
Mr.. Lewis received severe hurt
on the leg by the buggy wheel
passing over him, and also a cut on
the head, and several other bruises
about the body. The horse was
caught by Arthur McFeters, just
as it came on to Main street. The
injured parties may congratulate
themselves that it was no worse, as
it was narrow escape from death.

Perhaps this section has not had
such long continued warm spell
i'll April for half century as the
present one. In many places the
mercury has reached above ninety
for several days in succession and
we have had genuine summer
weather, which is just what the

beneficial to all kinds of vegeta-
