Exciting Runaway Early Yesterday
 Morning.

I
 ! There was runaway yesterday morn ing in which two teams were involved. Two boys were driving a horse owned by Liveryman Dudley, but were driving l too fast and losing control of the horse, | they were thrown out in front of Sails burys drug store, but fortunately were
 not much injured. The horse continued over the river and the wagon collided with the grocery team of D. M. Smith. Smiths horse then started on tear, ran across the bridge and was stopped near Front stree, thus terminating the eXcit- ing affair. Both wagons were damaged. An excellent entertainment was given Ill the Sunday school room of the Grand avenue Baptist church Thursday even- ing. The room was about half filled with interested spectators and the en- tertainment was worthy of a much
 larger audience. After the entertain
 ment the ladies sold ice cream and cake
 in the dining room.
