A runaway up Main street at
the noon hour Monday last made
things look as if q cyclone had
passed along. The team that
produced the commotion was the
property Of Mr.. Fred'Bohn; he
says he had them fastened at the
mill while he was inside. The
horses in some manner got lose
and came around the hotel corner
and up Main street on the run
striking the wagons Of Gus
Smedley, Nick Bury, and A. NJ.
Hagan, breaking wheels off the
two latter vehicles and some
what injuring the former one.
The horses got into a tangle just
south of the Mittelstaedt store
with the standing wagons, and
were secured before they could
extricate themselves. The Bohn
wagon was pretty well used up,
and was dropped along the street
at various points, and milk, and
milk cans were scattered along
the route. Mr.. Bohn claims
that his horses were securely
hitched at the mill when he left
and that some boys near there
had without doubt unfastened
them. If such was the case the
boys in that kind Of business
will be getting into serious
trouble some of these days.
Prof. Phillips has pug dog
or at least had one a short time
ago-of very diminutive size.
The professor also has a baby
and it occurred to him one even
ing short time ago while Mrs.
Phillips was away that he could
amuse himself and have quite a
lot of sport by placing the baby
and pug dog upon the table and
having a kind of catch-as-catch
can contest. All went well for a
time and the play became so
boisterous and interesting that
the professor failed to notice
that the participants had been
gradually working towards the
edge Of the table, and when he
awoke to the fact he instantly
realized that it would take his
most dexterous motion to save
either the baby or the pug dog.
Then he closed his eyes and
made grab. AS good fortune
