A team of horses owned by Mr.. Drake
who lives in the east part of town
caused considerable excitement last ev-
ening about o'clock by running away.
They were hitched to a wagon with
hay rack on it. 1t was not known what
frightened them. They started on
Saywen street. turned north on Monroe,
and west on ParamOre to the avenue,
where the hay rack was thrown off on
the car tracks, the team continuing their
wild race south. Mr.. Charles Bolton,
who was out riding, saw the runaway,
and started in pursuit. He followed the
team, and on the avenue succeeded IN
catching hold of the bit of one of the
horses, but the frightened animals
gave a Iunge and broke away Near
the Union Pacific depot, two ladies were
driving in a buggy, and were directly IN
the path of the horses. Mr.. Bolton called
to them to clear the way, but they, not
understanding what he said, stopped.
For few moments it hooked as though
a serious accident would be the result,
but Mr.. Bolton, with rare presence OF
mind. rode in front of the horses, caus-
ing them to turn aside. They then ran
into a telegraph pole, breaking the sin
gletree and stunning one of the horses.
