THE REGULAR RUNAWAY
A lively runaway which at first looked
as though it would be disastrous in it's
results, took place this evening about
o'clock. George Crane. who drives a
public carriage for Briggs. the Union
street liveryman, was standing with
his spirited team in front of Woods drug
store, on Colorado street, when the team
took fright at something, and when he
began to pull them up one of the lines
broke. They were facing the east, but
when the line broke the pull on the other
turned them round. and Crane seeing
that he had no possible chance while he
remained in the vehicle, jumped out, but
they We're off like the wind before he
could get to their heads. They dashed
UP West Colorado street at q break-neck
speed and were soon out of sight. For
tunately 1t was late enough in the even
Ing so that there were almost no teams
on the street, otherwise an exceedingly
disastrous collision would have been al
most inevitable. When the team reached
the vicinity of the Terminal station they
were stopped, with no damage to speak
Of.
