A very exciting runaway occurred
on Second street Thursday. A
team of horses belonging to the
Sisters of st. Gabriel's hospital was
being driven up that street by boy
about II years of age. one Of the
inmates of st. Otto's orphanage.
When in front of Stuart's livery
stable the team took fright and
dashed up the street at n tremendous
pace. They ran directly toward the
sidewalk just west of the
Little Falls house. but turned before
the railing was reached. The sleds
swung around and tore off the rail-
ing. and the rear portion OF the sleds
went over the walk and nearly
carried the rest of the rig into the
deep ravine on the other side of the
walk. The team was caught by
bystanders before it could get away
again. 1t was a lucky escape for the
boy, for had the team and rig gone
over the sidewalk. which they only
missed doing by a hair BREADTH,
there were great chances of his either
being killed or badly injured. The
lad made desperate effort to regain
control of the team, but they were
too badly frightened, and though he
still held the reins his strength was
not sufficient to manage them.

BURGLARY AT MOTLEY.
The Store of A. B. Cole Rob-
bed of a Large Amount
of Goods.

The general merchandise store Ot
A. Il. Cole, of Motley, was entered
by thieves Sunday night and u large
amount OF merchandise was taken.
The robbery was kept quiet, as 1T
was thought the officers could more
easily apprehend the culprits. II the
news was not generally given out.
On Wednesday three men were ar
rested at Staples with over $500
worth of the missing goods in their
possession, and the authorities tele-
graphed for County Attorney Rhodes
to go up and prosecute them.
They were given preliminary
hearing before Justice Hodge, which
resulted in all three being bound
over to the grand jury of the March
term of the district court.
The three prisoners were brought
down yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Mosher, Of Motley, and will, no
doubt, have to lie in jail until their
trial comes up.
All three of the prisoners are un-
known to the residents of Motley.
and are evidently u gang OF crooks.
They gave their names as Chas.
Hastings, James Carling and John
DOnahOe.
Against Hastings there is strong
evidence besides the fact of the goods
being found in his possession. In the
store Il pair of gloves were found,
and one of the fingers of the right
hand glove han not been used. In
,vrstigation proved that Hastings
was minus that finger on his right
hand. On the left hand glove small
portion of one of the fingers was un-
used, and he il also shy that portion
OF the finger of his left hand eorres-
ponding with the unused portion Of
the glove. There can be but little
doubt that the authorities have the
right parties.
