Another Runaway.

A white horse belonging to David
Dcwsett and attached to carriage
ran away this morning, creating
quite disturbance on Queen street.
The horse broke away from the rig
leaving the bride behind him but
taking away broken shaft attached
to the harness, which spurred him
on the mad career. At the Railroad
Depot officer Parker of the mounted
patrol made a chase after the run
away trying to stop him by grab
bipg hold of the ears, thereby hav-
ing his own mount injured by the
shaft, and by using his club on the
head Of the horse. Outside the store
of l.. b. Kerr a phaeton, fortunately
empty, was wrecked and the run
away was stopped. Great credit is
is due to the young officer for the
gallant dash made by him in his
efforts to stop the runaway.
