WAS WILD RUNAWAY
Team of Horses Make Things
Lively on Douglas Ave.
DEMOLISHED TWO WAGONS
VIM. VaIkenberg of Maize
Has Narrow Escape.

On West Douglas avenue near the
bridge yesterday, was the Scene of one
of the worst runaways witnessed in the
city in a long time. The escape of sew
eraI vehicles and many pedestrians from
being run over or knocked down was
miraculous. The team Of horses that ere
ated all the commotion was q large span
OF gray horses being driven by William
Van Valkenburg, living near Maize, Kan.
Mr. Van Valkenburg was going west and
had driven his team, attached 10 spring
wagon pretty well onto the Douglas ave-
bridge when an electric car approaching
the trestle from an opposite direction
The horses were frightened and became
unmanageable they turned completely
around on the marrow driveway upset
ting the vehicle, throwing the driver out,
who had a narrow escape from being kill
ed. When once Ioosened from the grip Of
a tight rein they dashed off at a mad
pace, dragging the wagon on its side until
1t came in contact with another wagon,
which happened in the path Of the runa-
ways, and tearing a wheel off of this,
rushed on until it struck the delivery
wagon of Cottman &, Chambers. By this
time the horses had become free from
the wagon they were attached to, it hav-
ing become a total wreck, and then start
ed down Douglas avenue at terrific
rate, barely missing several other teams
on the street, until they reached Mar
ket street, when both horses attempted
to turn in opposite directions, one horse
turning toward the postoffice and the
other north. This state of affairs brought
a sudden halt in their speed, as they were
hitched together and it threw both of
them down with considerable force. They
slid some distance along the pavement,
peeling the hide off of their hips and
sides. Men who happened 10 be on hand
jumped TO the heads of the horses and
held them down for a few moments be-
fore allowing them to get up. They were
soon after claimed by the owner,
who led them off to a feed barn on
Douglas avenue where they We're left
while the owner went to gather up the
of badly demolished wagon.
The contents of the wagon were strewn
along the bridge and roadway. Some of
the articles were seen floating around on
the higher places in the river, where
they had drifted after falling through
the open places in the side Of the bridge

"a CoNTENTED WOMAN"


The appearance of Miss Belle Arthur
in this piece will be one of the events of
the season at the Crawford Grand and
the house will lno doubt be filled on Mon
day next, March 6, when the company is
here. The following is from the Mani
toba Free Press:
Manager Walker of the Winnipeg The
atre held a hand yesterday that would
beat two pair, for did ne not have one
Contented Woman and two contented
audiences? Hoyt's stock, which has al
ways been at d premium in Winnipeg
fairly scared last night when the theatre
was crowded to the storm doors. The
program announced Miss Belle Archer in
"A Contented Woman" and might truth
fully have added tsupported by an all
star cast The play was not assumed
to be historically correct, but is rather a
picture of what is possible; at the same
time it is a red hot comedy and with
back-hander it gives the woman in poll
tics" a knockout blow. Miss Archer has
been advertised sa beautiful woman,
and those who We're induced 10 attend
in such recommendation were not dis
appointed. for as Grace Holmes. mayor
elect of Denver. she exhibited such soul
full eyes, f1eetipg dimples and ravishing
toilettes as 10 diSarm the most cynical
critics. Her beauty. however, IS enhanc-
ed by comparison with the features of
aunt jim who in the person Of Mrs.
Fanny Rouse. is the motive power OF this
play. Aunt Jim fairly out does her pro-
totype in Miss Francis of Yale" Her
other half. Uncle Toby at the supreme
moment, however, dons the trousers and
relegates thereby the women OF Denver
TO their proper sphere. The facial proper
ties Of these two characters are alone
worth n visit TO the play house. Aunt
Jim's two strong minded Z riends. Mics
WrangeI and Mrs. Chum. complete the
list Of new women and serve to prejudice
all lovers OF the beautiful against that
phenomenon. MISS Henrietta Lee. as ;he

The great Barlow Ministries appeared at
the Grand opera house last night. 1t is
the strongest aggregation this company
has ever carried. and the first part set
ting is the finest ever seen on the local
stage That minstrelsy is still popular
with fun lovers was evident; and it is
worthy of mention, that While farces and
melo-dramas come, and fall by the way
side, clean out minstrelsy viii go on just
the same; and while it has amused the
many in the past, it will continue to
amuse a great many 1ore. before the
last bones have ratified into dust. and the
last tambo been shattered. The mono
logue work of Mr.. Harry Ward, "the
next president Of minstrelsy," was ex-
ceedingly clever, while Coburn and Bald

plause. Taken all in all it is well named
