KimptonyiIle road last Saturday, they
were overtaken by a runaway team, at
tached to pair of traverse sleds, and
narrowly escaped being run over. Carl
urged his horse into "a run, and the girls
belabored the approaching horses over the
head with the whip until the sharp turn
by John Brahana' Is was reached, when the
sleigh capsized and threw them all into
the ditch; this opened the road for the
runaways, and they passed on without do

pie were much frightened, and it was
withal a very close shave.
