Sheckels had his horse harnessed to a four
seated carriage to Ike his family out for
for drive. While he went in the house
for his wife he left the two girls outside

toward Fourteenth street running at break
neck speed and kicking viciousIy. At
Fourteenth street the horse wheeled and
turned, running at q terrible rate OF speed
down the Fourteenth street hill.
All efforts to stop the animal proved
futile and pedestrians, fearing to approach,
expected to see the girls thrown out at
any moment and seriously injured If not
killed. Meanwhile tile little woman chung
tenaciously to the reins with all Of her
strength and displayed remarkable cool

reins. At the corner of Rhode Island ave-

horse tearing down tue street and deter

it was that tue girl displayed her nerve.
Instead of running the horse into the curb
or a tree box and being thrown out she
managed to keep the animal in the center
Of the street.
When near the corner of Rhode Island

horse to its launches, 80 that several Hen

all there. but upon making another
visit at o'clock there was not cent
of it left.
Some time ago Mr.. Beckley lost the
key to the safe, and, after searching
about in vain for it, concluded to have
duplicate made. This he used for
several days. He thinks that whoever
stole the money yesterday found the
key he had lost.
