Exciting Runaway.

One OF the fastest rides a small boy
ever took was that taken by little Ed.
Meredith last night about $3.50 behind
the horse owned by Mr.. A. ]. Bankson.
The boy was taking the horse to the
stable. and at Fourth and Putnam
street the animal took fright at some
thing, and ran down Putnam at a stlff
rate OF speed. At the corner of Front
and Putnam the horse endeavored to
turn down Front, but could not make
a sufficiently short turn to keep the
street. AS he swayed to one side to
make the turn he fortunately threw
himself, and of course came to quick
stop. The boy jumped out of the bug
gy which was not injured especially,
and which had not overturned. Many
men ran In and assisted the animal 10
his feet, apparently net the worse for
his experience.
