On Monday afternoon just as the hail
storm was driving up from the north
west against head wind the people
along Third street had an opportunity to
witness one of the most interesting and
at the same time most harmless run
always that has occurred in the city for
quite long time. The horse and buggy
of John Spenst, which had been standing
in front of the post-office dashed sudden
ly up Third street, turning the corner at
Spruce went up past the school house on
the dead run. making short turn at
Judge Dorval's place, from there con-
tinulng it's mad race along the railroad
for mile and half when it finally over
turned in the ditch, to be found by
those that had followed in the chase
without injury to either horse or rig. AS
this took place, according to report, on
the eve of Mr.. Spenst's wedding it may
certainly be taken as an omen OF the
good luck that may be expected to at
tend his matrimonial journey through
life.
