Noel. British commander in these
waters, to-day ordered the Turkish
troops whose embarkation was de-
layed by an order from Constanti-
nople, to embark on a British
transport. The soldiers proceeded
to obey, but the Turkish officer in
command stopped the embarkation.

caused the barracks to be sur-
rounded and declared the Turks
prisoners. He also threatened to
use force to compel them to en-
bark. The Turkish commanding
officer then allowed the embarka-

Dangerous Runaway.

One of the worst runaways which
has occurred in the city of Ard
more for some time was INDUCED
in by the team belonging to the
city. This team has been hauling
dirt to raise a dust with on Main
street for some time. While left
for a moment to themselves they
became hilarious and, after max
ing a run around several blocks,
came back on Main street, which
was crowded with all kinds of We
hicles. The now thoroughly af-
frighted team, without any driver,
came down Main street with a
rush, the weight of the team and
wagon clearing their own way.
Several wagons were damaged on
the way, and at one time not less
than a half dozen teams were mix
ing things around in great shape.
The team which was the source of
all the trouble, after leaving Sec
tions of the wagon in different
parts of the city, was finally cap
tured in the Central wagon yard
1t seemed providential act that
no serious injury befell any one,
as the street at the time was
crowded with men, women and
children and wagons and teams.
