 An exciting runaway took place Tuesday afternoon. Mir Baldwin, who works for Mrs George Adam, was driv- ing team of horses, and when in front of the Warner House a rein broke Baldwin attempted to jump onto the neap and grab the reins, but he fell be- tween the horses instead, and they started toward the depot on mad run. At the depot platform stood Livery man Madden's team and carriage, and the Adam team ran into them with such force that one of Madden's horses was forced sideways clear up on the plat form. The excited bystanders and the driver quickly controlled Madden's horses, but the runaways were of across the sand flat for a good run. Here Baldwin, who had escaped unhurt, tried to head them off but was unsuccessful and the team ran on toward the east. The PAS passenger train on the c. NE. only escaped being run into by the team by the efforts of the crossing watcher, Joe Smith, who shied the team to one side and the engineer put on steam and got out of the way. The team was captured near this crossing by Smith, after they had run into a telephone pole. None of the persons pr horses in the affair were injured, but Mrs Adams wssoa was wrecked.
