A runaway team caused consider
able excitement on Saturday last. The
horse belonged to Mr.. r. S, Eichel-
berger, was attached to a buggy,
and was being driven by his son Rob
ert. The horse became frightened on
Queen street and turned the corner at
Burke at break-neck speed. The
boy attempted to check the ANIMAL
but without success. The animal con-
tinued his mad fight until reaching
the residence of DR.. J. w. McSherry
where the buggy struck a hitchlng
post. throwing the boy out, demol-
ishing the buggy, and freeing the
horse from its harness. We expect
ed to see the young man killed, but
were surprised to see him pick him
self up from the ground unhurt. The
horse was caught at the foot OF Burke
street hill. The boy had fortunate
and narrow escape.
