There was lively runaway on Main
street at the West End Thursday after
noon. A large horse attached to junk
team owned and driven by Hebrew
from Portland figured in the excitement.
The horse bolted down Main street scat
tering junk, bottles and rags in every di-
rection. As the horse neared Fitch street,
the animal bolted toward the depot. In
passing the livery stable of W. ID. Pride
the junk team had n narrow escape from
colliding with several ice teams belong
ing to Mr.. Pride, which were standing
in front of the stable. The horse freed
himself at this point and was captured
near the depot. The only damage sus-
tanned was the breaking of a spring on
the junk team. The owner of the team
became enraged at his seemingly hard
luck and for time, 1t is said, the air was
blue with Hebrew epithets poured forth
by the unfortunate proprietor of the junk
team.
